Needs to put the Russki on his arse though to win

[Crucial]

Back to the water.

[Bovidae]

The Ruskie was awkward to fight and hadn't been beaten in 4 years. No disgrace with a bronze medal.

I'm watching a BBC broadcast I think. It's a pom and a kiwi.

OK. No idea then.

He was also the vastly better boxer. Nyika looked like he cement shoes in comparison and couldn't throw a straight right.

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Legend.

[Machpants]

Four OBs in 3 hours, 2 golds, no problem

[taniwharugby]

Holy fuck, amazing!!

OR in both finals!

[Crucial]

Lifts us above the Netherlands on the table too. 10th

[Windows97]

Wow!! What a legend Carrington is!!

Within an hour race, win, OR, rest, race, win OR...in an event that looks incredibly taxing to recover an win again is incredible. What an athlete!

If Lisa was an American she would be a multimillionaire. As it is she has to do it for the love and admiration of our nation

A bit of heresy, but if we still competed as Australasia we'd be just a couple of golds behind the US on the medal table.

We'd be bitching about the passengers from the Federated States, though!

Norwegian breaks world record in 400m hurdles and then shows his nipples.

[KiwiMurph]

What a powerhouse.

What was the term I saw - The GOAT in the Boat

[NTA]

Holy shit the Norwegian just broke the WR in 400m hurdles by a ways...

[taniwharugby]

So she now has the K1 500 and K4 500 tomorrow?

After just an hour or so back becoming the most successful New Zealand female Olympian, with a third gold medal, she has now added a fourth to that collection.

It's now five Olympic medals in total for Carrington (four gold, one bronze) and that sees her now equal on the most for New Zealand, with fellow kayakers Ian Ferguson and Paul MacDonald, and equestrian Sir Mark Todd.
