Hi Wendy, I saw the event last night and thought their effort was wonderful, right to the end I was under the impression they had only 2 penalties and then it showed 52, I was so sad for them. It was a gutsy effort and when I saw Lachie put his hand on the shoulder of his partner I was impressed by his strength of character. They will be back and better still. Congrats to them and all who helped them along the way. Regards.

They will need a little luck on their side but if determination gets you anywhere then he and his kayaking partner Mark have to have a show for a bronze at least. Heats are on the 19th - only 1 team fom each of 12 countries was allowed to compete. Lachie is, of course, descended from Robert MILNE of the High Country! (No relation as far as I know to the Olympic skiers Malcom and Ross MILNE from Myrtleford)....... Fingers crossed for OZ in the C2 event! Wendy --- Incoming mail is certified Virus Free.
