[Jeremias]

Kayak Cross time trial starting now.

Jess Fox is in action, as is her sister.

We’ll have to wait a little while for them though, they’re both near the end of the event given their ranking.

 

[pepsi]

Let's gooooo. Boomers qualify for the quarters....only by the skin of their teeth as Canada just got over the line against Spain.

 

[Fire]

Was this the first day there was no gold?

Was this the first day there was no gold?

The day is not finished. Two great chances in the swimming.

 

[myblueroan]

They have won already? They are still playing on Ch9, why do these muppets keep showing stuff on delay?

Cos muppets.

 

[myblueroan]

Izaak Kennedy did well in 1st run

 

[Plugger35]

Eddie stumbling over pronouncing Saya Sakibara in the BMX semi final race, he called her Saki Sayabara.

 

[catstorm]

Nice start from Saya in the first semi, hasn’t lost a race yet. Real show for a Gold even if that final race is a crap shoot.

 

[Wickzki]

Saya so good

 

[pepsi]

Saya so good

Saya it isn't so. If she wins gold I'll be saying I Saya it but I don't believe it.

I can see her doing a Sao ad if she wins gold, you can't beat a Saya.

 

[myblueroan]

Cam McEvoy wins gold in 50 free!

 

[myblueroan]

Camon Kaylee!!

 

[myblueroan]

Wow!

 

[myblueroan]

2nd run for Saya coming up now

 

[myblueroan]

Number 1 again for Saya in run 2.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Sakakibara has a simple game plan - get the right hand start position (our left) get to the first hill and over it first, stay in front, take the inside line and nobody can pass her.

 

[Fire]

wow, 2nd in the tally ATM

 

[pepsi]

KAYLEE!!!! CAM MCEVOY!!!!

What an incredible few minutes. Still have goosebumps.

 

[catstorm]

wow, 2nd in the tally ATM

Back down to third

 

[catstorm]

Oh man Kennedy botched it in the BMX, will probably miss the final now.

 

[Plugger35]

wow, 2nd in the tally ATM

Make the most of it, the swimming will be over soon, then the track and field will take over where golds are much harder to get.

We bask in the glory til we can. Regardless, that ten minutes was historic. Cannot believe Kaylee achieved the double double. Iconic.

 

[catstorm]

Wow just made as the last qualifier into the final, got lucky there.
