The Olympic flatwater sprint regatta has begun. Yesterday began with preliminary heats in C1 1000 meters, K2W 500 meters, K1W 200 meters, and K1 1000 meters. The semifinal round took place later in the day.
The U.S. has just one entrant in the regatta: Maggie Hogan of Huntington Beach, California. In the 200 meter preliminary round yesterday, there were four heats with seven racers in each, and six of the seven in each heat moved on to the semifinals. Unfortunately, Hogan finished seventh in her heat. Her time of 44.668 seconds was just .429 second out of sixth place. The fastest time in the four preliminary heats was 40.263 seconds.
The finals are today for the four events that started yesterday. Hogan will get another chance to race tomorrow in the 500 meters.
