Today brought mixed results for New Zealand’s rowers.
Shannon Cox and Jackie Kiddle, competing in the women’s lightweight double sculls, advanced to the final by finishing second in their semi-final race. They recorded a time of 7 minutes and 2.86 seconds, just three seconds behind the winners from Great Britain and comfortably ahead of the third-placed USA.
However, there was disappointment for Dan Williamson and Phil Wilson in the men’s pair semi-final. The duo finished in fourth place, narrowly missing the cut for the final, as only the top three advance.
Their time of 6 minutes and 32.77 seconds was just half a second behind Ireland, who took the third spot. Ironically, their time would have secured third place in the other semi-final.
“It’s bitterly disappointing,” said Williamson. “We didn’t perform how we wanted today. We didn’t quite click and couldn’t find the rhythm we had in our heat.” As a result, Williamson and Wilson will compete in the B final.
