Carrington and the women's K4 final in 17 minutes time

Feeling quite a bit of nervous energy waiting for the start!

Yesssssssssssssss

[Higgins]

YEEEEES GOLD

[Bovidae]

Well done ladies. A strong finish.

[KiwiMurph]

Fuck yes.

What a second kick

[ACT Crusader]

The Germans made a real push in the 2nd 250. But what a lift by our girls

[Billy Tell]

Yeah baby yeah.

[sparky]

GOLD!!!!!!!

My god Dame Lisa is one tough women. Clearly headed and the Germans were pulling away but she gritted her teeth and refused to be beat and dug in real hard to get narrowly in front and doggedly hung on.

Now time for the men to pull their weight. Not holding my breath.

[Bovidae]

What a moment for Lisa Carrington, her sixth Olympic gold medal, and seventh overall. That's a first Olympic medal for Alicia Hoskin, Tara Vaughan, and Olivia Brett.

If we finish in the top 5 we will have done pretty well.

Oz and Germans fighting for the gold I reckon.

False start

[ACT Crusader]

Hope that false start rattles some of the fancied teams 😉

[Higgins]

Looks like we have been nobbled by the Indian bookies - fortunately not C2 like thankfully.

[antipodean]

That was a close finish but to the naked eye I thought ze Germans had just done it.

[Damo]

We've pushed ahead of Ireland now on silvers. Thank goodness for that.

It has been a pretty good Olympics all up. Be good to get 2 or 3 more golds and make it a great Olympics for us.

[ACT Crusader]

What a fantastic men’s K4 race - Germans and OZ right to the wire.

[Dodge]

The sailing has been a bit of a car crash by the looks of it, barely any wind throughout. GB having a shocker in what is usually one of our stronger sports, no idea why

BBC's now showing the Canoe Racing.
