Olympic Sprint Canoeing

From Olympic Rowing
The past week has seen Eton Dorney switch over from hosting the rowing regatta to become the venue for the canoe sprint events.  Our PRD team has stayed the same, but many of our customers changed as the rowing officials made way for the canoeing teams.  The atmosphere at the venue was also slightly more subdued, at least initially, possibly because team GB is not as well represented in canoeing and kayaking as it is in rowing.  All that changed towards the end of the week with the 200m sprint events, in which Team GB was represented in all the finals, with several medal possibilities.  The final day was the chance for Team GB to deliver, which they did in style with a gold and bronze in the men's K1 and K2 200m sprints respectively.
