Olympic flatwater: Hogan eliminated in 500-meter heats

U.S. kayaker Maggie Hogan saw her Olympics come to an end this morning in the preliminary round of the 500 meters.  A sixth-place finish in her heat with a time of 1:58.970 was not good enough to advance her to the semifinal round.

Inna Osipenko-Rodomska, a native Ukranian now competing for Azerbaijan, turned in the fastest time in the heats with her 1:51.750 clocking.  Appearing in her fourth Olympics, Osipenko-Rodomska has won four medals (including one gold) and has also won six medals at the world championships.

The semifinals take place later this morning.  Other events contested today include K2 1000 meters, C1 200 meters, and K2 200 meters.
