It's the penultimate day for the Olympic flatwater sprint regatta down in Rio, and four more events went through their preliminary rounds today. Paddlers completed heats and semifinals in K1 200 meters, C2 1000 meters, K4W 500 meters, and K4 1000 meters, with the finals scheduled for tomorrow.
Sebastian Brendel of Germany is going for his second gold medal of the week in the C2 1000 m. He and partner Jan Vandrey won their preliminary heat to bypass the semifinal and go straight to the final.
In K4W 500 meters the Hungarian team went straight to the final by virtue of winning its heat with the fastest time in the preliminary round. At the moment I'm not sure whether Danusia Kozák, who has already won two golds in this regatta, is competing in her nation's four-woman kayak. It could be a three-gold-medal week for her if she is.
