Our Kiwi rowers have real chances of some Olympic medals. Six teams or individuals won their heats, and two others came second.

Our female single sculler came third in her quarter final, and three times world champion Mahe Drysdale won his narrowly. Other finals later in th week.

We have a few other chances in other sports, but our equestrian riders have done their dash.

two have made the finals and others semis. We have one swimmer, Moss Burmester, racing against Phelps. Moss has been unwell but still made the final in 7th place - silver is his best hope!
