Canoe sprint: People’s Rep. of China win women’s canoe double 500m gold!
A sublime performance from the pair of Xu Shixiao and Sun Mengya, who successfully defend their title from Tokyo 2020 in an Olympic-best time of 1:52.81!
They started brilliantly and were never truly troubled, but there is a photo finish needed to determine who finished second between Ukraine and Canada – and it is the Ukrainian team of Liudmyla Luzan/ Anastasiia Rybachok who earn the silver ahead of Sloan Mackenzie and Katie Vincent.
🥇China: 1:52.81 OB
🥈Ukraine: 1:54.30
🥉Canada: 1:54.36
