I will say, Canada getting through Heat 1 is a HELL of a lot better than they did in Rio.
Australia just smashed that heat. GB finished third. kind of slow, but they also have the womens fours to go so maybe just conserving energy?
I am not a big rowing fan, but wouldn't most countries have separate teams for 4s and 8s?
It does happen. One of my friends’ cousin was an Olympic kayaker. He was competing in the K2 and the person in his kayak was also competing in the K1. Led to some friction when it became obvious his teammate cared about the K1 and not so much about the K2 event so he could conserve energy.they do but they specifically said that one of the rowers was on the 8 team.
I remember back in Barcelona the golden Canadian Women's Eights team included the gold winning Coxless Four and Coxless Pairs teams.I am not a big rowing fan, but wouldn't most countries have separate teams for 4s and 8s?
Wow! What an upset!
