Rio Olympics 2016: Lisa Carrington powers to New Zealand's third gold medal


The golden glow is back on New Zealand's Olympic campaign thanks to another fabulous canoe sprint triumph for Lisa Carrington on Tuesday (Wednesday NZ Time).

Smoke on the water and with a golden hue off it, Carrington is now a double Olympic champion in the fast and furious canoe sprint they call the K1 200m − and there was never really any doubt about it as she extended her unbeaten streak in the event at the global level to 13 regattas.

Carrington's reputation as the Usain Bolt of her sport gained further credence as she backed up her London triumph in the mad dash with another fast-finishing masterpiece in Rio. It's the first part of what the powerful Kiwi hopes will be an historic double gold medal effort at these Games, with the K1 500m to follow.
