New Zealand’s Lisa Carrington ties gold-medal record
Lisa Carrington of New Zealand, known back home as “the GOAT in the Boat” cemented her place in canoe sprint history by equaling the all-time record of eight gold medals.
She completed the sweep of Olympic gold in her three events with yet another in the K-1 500m sprint. It was not easy as Carrington was pushed early in the race and trailed at the halfway point, but her closing speed was just too much and she ended up winning by more than a second.
Carrington led the way for New Zealand in both the K-2 500m and K-4 500m sprints to take home three golds at these Olympic Games and raise her total to eight. At 35-years-old, one of the storylines of the next Olympic cycle will be whether Carrington can make the push for L.A. and go for another gold to break the record.
