Its a shame the woman's sculls cant also do a 1000m, 500m, 2500m, forward, backwards as well...then we could clean up in the medals like the other countries do in swimming...
At least we have the kayaking to come, Lisa "Big guns" Carrington must be a serious contender again
Lisa Carrington. One should not find someone with shoulders like that so attractive.

Could have gone in ‘Awesome’ thread but good here
Tanaka wins the creative Olympics

I watched some 3 x 3 basketball the other night and put it down as some the worst sport I've ever seen.
It's just practice.
I guess you could say that is what weight lifting is too, though
Scrummaging practice will be in there by 2036, I reckon. Maybe the goal kicking practice before the coach turns up,could olympasize that.
Slip cradles by 2040. Or net bowling? Who can best banana bend swing the 2 piece cricket ball.
I'd watch

She'd snap you like a twig with those arms

Geez, there's a 13-year-old from Canada in the next heat.
Summer McIntosh. She's 14.
Finished 4th in the 400 m freestyle final, so very good for her age.

Thomas' time in the heat was 8:32:51 according to the Tokyo 2020 website.
On the FINA website it says that her personal best is 8:34:19.
If the FINA website is correct, she didn't take 6 seconds off her pb. It must be her qualifying time.
Earlier this year, at the "Hamilton Qualifying Meet", her time was 8:38:41. I assume that's her qualifying time.

A PB.
But what does "shaving 6 seconds off her entry time"mean?
Surely not 6 seconds off her PB?
Yes according to Stuff.
They aren't really a source of much authority, though.
They just write what they see on twitter, or in this case hear (but not necessarily understand) on the commentary.
