Good news for you is that she'll most likely retire after these olympics

Hm, that seems too early for her, 32 isn't that old in this sport, she would very likely be a medal contender in Paris like Kozák in Tokyo.

Anyway, this is a terrible Games for Europe in Canoe Sprint so far in terms of gold medals, only 1984 is comparable where  won 4 gold medals, but obviously many of the strongest countries missed that Games.  is in danger of not winning any gold medals, if we ignore 1984 this would be the first time since 1972 without a German gold. Fortunately for them men's K4 is still coming up as their last chance (there's also MC1), similarly to how K4 is our last chance to beat the Kiwis in women's kayak.

What a race in the K2 and what a win for Australia.

First American medal in the Canadian category since London 1948.

Disgusting performance by the German team so far, hopefully they will lose all funding. A bit surprising that Russian isn’t winning anything, given that other classic doping countries (Hungary, China) seem to have profited a lot from the pandemic.

We sure are benefitting from the pandemic, except nope, in most events we are performing like in 2019, just with two boats per event instead of one. Someone like Csipes didn't come out of nowhere, she was always this strong, she just couldn't defeat Kozák at the trials and we only had one boat per event.
