Olympic Finals

Friday, August 22nd, 2008

Tom Hall finishes third.  I am so happy for Tom.  He has made a real breakthrough this year, going from good paddler to great racer and finished the season off with Olympic Bronze.  Way to go Tom.

Adam VanK finishes 8th in a very surprising finish.  I have never seen Adam  tie up so much in the final 200m.  Hopefully Adam can use the disapointment to bounce back for a big race tomorrow.  The danger is that his anger and frustration won’t translate well onto the race course.  I have never seen Adam in this situation, so I don’t know what to predict.
