Sprint Canoeing at the Summer Olympic Games 2020

[Vektor 3,326]

The most predictable podium in men's kayak, 1.  2.  3. , Germany avoids the complete flop in Canoe Sprint in the one event where they dominate the most. 

 

Well done, boys, this is a nice 7th place from a new boat. Before the Games I thought that we won't even be in FA, so this is improvement.

Out of curiousity, what's the biggest gap between one athlete's two gold medals?  

 

I would assume 16 years, 20 seems a little unlikely?

28 years. Aldar Gerevich in fencing (first 1932, last 1960). I know you asked for something different but technically it's fairly impressive.

With no gold medals in between it's probably Anthony Ervin in swimming (2000-2016).

Thanks! Now still wondering what's the biggest gap in between golds  

 

As in, the longest time without gold, between two gold medals.

I edited my previous post. It should be Ervin in swimming.

With this bronze Karolina Naja becomes only the 8th athlete to win at least four Olympic medals. This enters her among legendary names of Polish sports and 90% of this country wouldn't even recognize her on the street

 

Some Hungarians might know that but Pawłowski & Woyda are fencers (the former even CIA agent no less).

Karolina Naja getting salty at someone in the TVP interview: "I dragged more names on the medal list than Lisa Carrington. I'm better in that regard."
