Today is the final day of whitewater slalom, with the men's double canoes and women's kayaks competing in their semifinal rounds as I write this.
Once that's over, we'll have several days off from Olympic paddling. Then, the flatwater sprint regatta will begin on Monday at Eton Dorney, Buckinghamshire.
A TV station in northwest Arkansas has posted this interview with one of the greatest athletes in that region: Mike Herbert, a three-time Olympian in flatwater kayaking who very nearly won a medal at Seoul in 1988. Mike, who lives in the town of Rogers, has become a good friend of mine as he and I have raced together all over this part of the country in the last decade.
