Medal Moment
Canoe sprint: New Zealand win women’s kayak double 500m gold!
Never in doubt!
Lisa Carrington and Alicia Hoskin lead from start to finish, crossing the line in a time of 1:37.28 to claim gold. The victory is the seventh for Carrington in Olympic competition, meaning she is now just one short of eight-time Olympic champion Birgit Fischer.
Now, there are two Hungarian boats in this race, and the first (Tamara Csipes/Alida Dora Gazo) claims silver. But there’s nothing to decide between Germany and the second Hungarian boat in third as they both finish with a time of 1:39.46 – meaning they will both be awarded the bronze!
