Canoe Sprint: Disappointment for Team GB at Eton Dorney as Tim Brabants fails to defend Olympic title
Wednesday 08 August 2012
Norway's Eirik Veras Larsen won gold today in the kayak sprint as Tim Brabants, defending his Olympic crown, finished eighth.
World champion Adam van Koeverden finished second to claim silver, while Max Hoff from Germany won the bronze.
Brabants, who came in to the Games struggling for full fitness following a serious tendon injury, could never contest the lead at Eton Dorney.
Drawn in lane one nearest the grandstand, the 35-year-old had the support of the home crowd but fell well behind Canada's Van Koeverden as he surged in to an early lead.
But with 250 metres to go in the individual 1000 metre kayak sprint, Larsen edged in to first place to claim gold.
Speaking to reporters afterwards, Brabants said he felt good in his warm up but was disappointed with the result.
He said: "Unfortunately today the other guys were better. Everybody in that final has been in a final this year, at the world cup and the Europeans, except me.
"To be in the final was my main aim and then to try and make that podium again. I felt like I could. In the warm up I felt strong but unfortunately I felt like I was never in the race for some reason.
"The conditions weren't bad. I am not making excuses at all. I would rather not have had lane one but it didn't make a difference on the day.
"The right guys won and they showed their class, they showed their form. My main problem is letting down the home crowd. I wanted to add to the medal tally for Team GB like all the other athletes and especially like the returning gold medallists from Beijing who have done so."
"I am really looking forward to seeing our 200 metre boys racing - maybe they will pick up when I missed out."
Asked whether he intended to continue, the accident and emergency doctor said he would return to his day job, probably at Nottingham's Queen's Medical Centre, in the next few weeks but seemed to rule out competing in Rio in four years.
He added: "I don't want to give up just yet. We work on four year cycles. This is the end of one cycle and so in a few weeks time we will reassess where we are. I love the sport. I love being in this environment, so I certainly don't want to stop just yet.
"Another four years is a tough one. I will be 39 in Rio so I think it is unlikely and unrealistic but I don't want to give up just yet - there are all sorts of other competitions we can compete in."
He added: "I am happy for the guys who have won. I know they are good athletes and I know they are clean athletes, which is the key thing for me - knowing that the top guys on the podium are clean. I am happy for them but I am disappointed for me.
"There always are (athletes who dope) unfortunately but time will tell but there are guys who I have raced throughout the last 12 years who disappear for two years on a ban and then they come back and they are racing again. It's part of our sport unfortunately and all we can do as British athletes is promote drug free sport.
"As I say, I am pleased for the guys on top of the podium because I know they are good athletes and worthy champions."
In the women's K4 500m, Jess Walker, Angela Hannah, Rachel Cawthorn and Louisa Sawers finished fifth, behind Hungary, who won gold.
Germany's Sebastian Brendel won gold in the men's 1000m canoe sprint, while David Cal Figueroa from Portugal from Spain finished in second. Canada's Mark Oldershaw claimed the bronze.
In the men's kayak double, Hungary's Rudolf Dombi and Roland Kokeny won gold, Portugal's Fernando Pimenta and Emanuel Silva took the silver and Martin Hollstein and Andreas Ihle from Germany won bronze.
Speaking after the men's K1 1,000m, silver medallist van Koeverden said he had trained with Larsen in the region of 1,000 times over the last 14 years.
He said: "We are 50-50 for wins in those sessions. In those sessions we get off the water and we have said to each other many, many times, 'I don't think anybody in the world could have done what we did today'.
"We are not being cocky, or arrogant or boastful. Today was no exception, we flipped a coin and if it comes out the wrong side you have to deal with it.
"I have said it before that I don't like stacking up my 1,000m silvers on my dresser at home but if I have to lose to somebody then he is a classy guy and I respect him so much."
Germany claimed the silver in the women's K4, while Belarus won bronze.
Speaking after the race, Sawers said she was not affected by the windy conditions at Eton Dorney.
The 24-year-old, from Walton-on-Thames, Surrey, said: "We saw the Belarusians come through but we just stuck to our race plan. Our finish was just not fast enough. I was quite excited about the K4 because we have an international ranking.
"The training went well but the standard was pretty high out there. I think we performed as best we could."
Walker, who competed in Beijing, said she hoped to improve over the next four years for the Olympics in Rio.
The 22-year-old from London said: "One day we will get there one day. The last four years has been about this Olympics. I will be there in Rio. After you've done your first Olympics, you then go on and medal at your next one but I think this is the one before I medal in my K4."
Walker now competes in the women's K1 200 metres. She added: "Hopefully I will have a better mentality when I get to that final."
Angela Hannah, 26, from Loughborough, Leicestershire, who played hockey for Zimbabwe as a youngster before she was spotted for Team GB's canoeing team, said she planned to spend the rest of the week watching other events.
She said: "Five years ago the whole idea was for me to get into the boat and learn how to paddle and get here. Even, a year-and-a-half ago I didn't think I could get that far. But to call yourself an Olympian is amazing. It's such a privilege."
Cawthorn, 23, from Guildford, Surrey, said: "I am absolutely happy I had the K4 the first day because the first time we went out in front of that crowd is what like 'whoa'. We have never raced in front of anything like that before so that when it came to the K1 it felt a bit more like home.
"I have one more chance to go out there and put down my best race and see what happens. I am really looking forward to go out there again and do my best race."

Mark Anderson wins Web.com Tour event
Former South Carolina player Mark Anderson won the BMW Charity Pro-Am on Sunday for his first Web.com Tour title, closing with a 6-under 65 at the Thornblade Club for a five-stroke victory.
The Associated Press
Former South Carolina player Mark Anderson won the BMW Charity Pro-Am on Sunday for his first Web.com Tour title, closing with a 6-under 65 at the Thornblade Club for a five-stroke victory.
The 27-year-old Anderson had a tournament-record 27-under 259 total, the third-lowest score in relation to par in tour history. He opened with a 63 at The Reserve at Lake Keowee, added a 67 at Greenville Country Club and took a one-stroke lead Saturday with a 64 at Thornblade.
Anderson earned $117,000 to jump from 133rd to ninth on the money list with $124,535.
"To get that first professional victory is the toughest," Anderson said. "This means a lot. It's been four years really and it's been a struggle this year. It really hasn't looked that great but I felt good this week.
"To get this victory in South Carolina is awesome. This state has done so much for me as far as golf. The South Carolina Junior Golf Association and the South Carolina Golf Association can take credit for this win and lots of other wins by South Carolina natives. To get it here in front of my mom, my dad and my grandparents, it couldn't be any better."
Tom Hoge shot a 67 to finish second. Chesson Hadley, Michael Connell and Franklin Corpening tied for third at 21 under. Hadley had a 63, Connell shot 65, and Corpening closed with a 70.
Hadley matched the tour record for nine holes when he went out in 8-under 27, making six birdies and an eagle.
"I played well," Hadley said. "I think I learned quite a bit last year. I was in this position and failed. Today, I really hit the ball beautifully from the fourth hole on and I hope I can keep it going. This is my second year out here and I'm a little more comfortable on the courses. I know what to expect now."

Portsmouth have named Guy Whittingham as their permanent manager.
The former Pompey striker, 48, took over as caretaker boss at Fratton Park in November after Michael Appleton quit for Blackpool.
Whittingham has had to deal with huge problems at cash-strapped Portsmouth, only able to field youngsters, loan players and free agents on month-long contracts while the club were in administration.
Pompey have used more than 50 players this season, but having been able to field a settled side recently, Whittingham has guided them to a run of just two defeats in their last 10 matches.
Their fine form was not enough to avoid relegation, which was inevitable due to the 10-point penalty imposed after they exited administration earlier this month.
But Portsmouth's new owners, the Pompey Supporters' Trust, believe Whittingham is the man to lead their promotion bid from npower League Two next season.
New chairman Iain McInnes said: "We are delighted to have a character of Guy's calibre in charge.
"He understands the club and what we are trying to achieve and he has shown in the past few months what he can do when he has the opportunity to work with a settled group of players."

Thousands of abortion opponents braved the bitter cold and snow in Washington D.C. to rally at the annual March for Life, the world's largest abortion protest. It was the 41st march, which is held each year to mark the anniversary of the Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion nationwide. Many of those in attendance were young Catholics, and organizers said they were trying to broaden their partnerships with other groups, particularly evangelicals. Meanwhile, religious supporters of abortion choice vowed to continue defending the 1973 decision.

Also, I've just notice that there is a little problem with the bonus skill house rule, if you select you bonus trained skill to be Use The Force, if won't qualify for the Force Training and Force Regimen Mastery feat (because it need to says "Feat" or "Yes" in the trained column...).
Yes. I pointed that out 2 posts ago in in post # 2075.
Just to be clear, what you've repport is fixed. It's the new house tule I've added that it don't work. The house rule permit Bonus Trained Skill (like the one humans gets) to be any skill even if not class-skill. When the house rule is activated, you can choose the trained skill with a dropdown list in the bottom of the Character Sheet. The selected skill has "Species" written in the trained column of the Skills sheet and "Species" is not recognize by the Force Training and Force Regimen Mastery feat.
If you are interested in tha house rule what I've should have done is like the other feats that have a prerequisite of a trained skill and look if it is different that nothing. Change this
in cell F141 and F143 of the Feat sheet for this
TUseTheForce <> ""
Ok sorry. I didn't know you were talking about the house rule.

Mamma mia! Vision of mother won derby for Sunderland, insists Paolo Di Canio after victory over Newcastle
The Black Cats stunned St James' Park with a 3-0 win
Martin Hardy
Martin Hardy is a football reporter at 'The Independent'.
Monday 15 April 2013
Paolo Di Canio believes seeing a vision of his dead mother Pierina before the North-east derby was the inspiration for Sunderland's historic victory.
Di Canio led Sunderland to their biggest win against Newcastle since 1979, and succeeded in keeping a clean sheet at St James' Park for the first time in a league game since 1966. The new manager was the inspiration for a stunning win, but he in turn said it had been his mother who had watched over the momentous day, that had helped make it happen.
"Before the kick off I saw the face of my mother smiling," said Di Canio. "Before the kick off I believe in this thing. It is one year since she passed away. It is not an accident. I believe in this energy. For this, I was sure today, you may think maybe 'he's mad'.
"It's obvious it was an emotional moment. Exactly one year ago, there was the same situation. I was in the dugout the day after she passed away and we won the game. I was at Swindon and today it happened again. For this I have to thank not only my Mamma, but otherwise my Dadda, he is next to her. My dedication goes to my mam today. "
Di Canio ran down the touchline and slid on his knees after Adam Johnson's goal, which was the second for Sunderland. He called the victory his best as a manager and paid credit to his players, calling them warriors.
"I understand why they sing the manager's name but they have to sing the player's name. They players worked so hard. My players were warriors today. The derby was beautiful. This stadium full of passion. Approximately 2,800 of our fans, they were very far, I didn't remember it was so far away. They were loud during the game and that was fantastic."
Alan Pardew in contrast must try and lift his players after a truly catastrophic week. Newcastle were knocked out of the Europa League on Thursday night and now face a fight to stay in the Premier League after a crushing defeat.
"I don't feel particularly great," he said. "It was a tough day. They looked like a team who had worked all week on us and we looked like a team that had a really tough game on Thursday night. It was a great day for Sunderland and an awful day for us."
Trouble flared in Newcastle after the defeat as Sunderland fans were escorted towards the city's train station. Missiles were thrown at police as they kept the two sets of supporters apart. Three police officers were taken to hospital and 29 arrests were made throughout the course of the day.
A Northumbria spokeswoman said: "The most serious incident involved a group of Newcastle fans in Central Station attempting to confront Sunderland supporters, but they were intercepted by officers from British Transport Police. During this incident missiles were thrown at the officers, which resulted in three injuries to officers, one of them requiring assessment at hospital." Sunderland fans had earlier thrown a smoke bomb into a section filled with Newcastle supporters.

Reader comments are listed below. Comments are currently closed and new comments are no longer being accepted.
It is sad that the author of this article has such an obsession with pornography, and such a lack of understanding of human dynamics.
I hope you guys at the Econ are right, and a medium only succeeds whenever there's porn involved.
Because, if that is correct, twitter, that disgrace, will ultimately fail.
Who would want their kids to grow up in a world surrounded by twits?
Enjoyable and informative story. But by far the most comments received on this sort of thing seem to be from those who do not see throught the Economist's mischevious and delicate humour. And let's face it, understanding double entendres in Hindi will not come too easy for the average Brit reader.
My Latin fathers used to say "omnia munda mundi" (you can google this if not clear) and I believe they were right. Malice is more often inside the mind of onlookers than on author's intention, who in this case may have just wanted to express his or her (why not?) feelings about sex, something that only puritans may classify as obscene.
is nudity the same as pornography?
Hmm... similar objects have been infused with such different meanings in various cultures, across geographies, throughout time... we are, after all, talking about an object that is as remote in time as it gets, a vestige of a culture we know so little about... to call it anything with assurance and without qualifying our statements as mere attempts to speculate on lost meanings, is somewhat... futile
The Economist seems to have slipped into a fairly traditional mindset of branding certain forms of art as "pornographic".
In my opinion, "smut" may be too denigrating a term to depict what has been generally classified as 'pure art': 'sculpting' of male-female forms, singly, entwined, carousing or carressing, human or animal - even inanimate life-forms in throes of reproductive embrace, such as rain-forest plants and giant tree saplings - have been adorning the art galleries and oak-panelled lobbies of many 'genteel' mansions/castles.
The rich art of Ajanta/Ellora caves; the varied beauty of ancient Gupis erotic sculptures' in (now) Mansehra/Pakistan; Grecian-Turkish engravings like 'Herakles & Omphale'; the many figurines of Roman temples, Adonis/Phaedra.....Every religion has been portraying intimacy, physical or sensual, in varied sculpture forms.
Certainly, the "Palaeolithic pornography" of 35,000 years ago, would be a prized adornment of any English museum or art gallery - best of luck!
"As 35,000 years ago is reckoned the moment when modern man, Homo sapiens, arrived in Europe, this discovery adds to the evidence that human thinking - or male thinking, at least - has hardly changed since the species evolved."
I just want to point out that this statement makes a huge assumption: That a male carved the figurine. How do we know it wasn't a female that carved the figurine?
I have to agree with the minority here that I think a lot of you guys are missing the tongue in cheek humor here and the Economist is not suddenly surfacing as a puritanical outpost. Plus, as everyone knows, sex sells!
Hope you guys know more about economics, etc, than you do about palaeolithic art, religion and culture. This is obviously a Goddess figure, and the vulva and breasts represent a prayer for fertility and abundance. I'm not sure at what point in the world's history people figured out that the male had something to do with fertility, but it was long after the palaeolithic period.
Probably your editors have a case of breast and vulva envy. It's a deadly syndrome. Good luck, boys.
This sounds more like a case of scientists finding what they want to find than anything else.
This article does show the 'conservative' side of the economist (its repressed Victorian origins caused it to view a statue of a couple embracing/making love/having sex as 'smut').
The female statues are neither pornographic or obscene. That's a bunch of pseudo-psychiatric malarky aimed at insulting men. Haven't scientists and archaelogists seen a pregnant female? The extended belly and enormous breasts are exactly what happens to women during pregnancy. What is wrong with looking at it. Nothing. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and this Paleolithic man certainly must have been proud of the mother of his child. A keepsake for paternity.
> this discovery adds to the evidence that human thinking—or male thinking, at least—has hardly changed since the species evolved.
"Male thinking"? This is anti-male sexism. Or a belated recognition that only men make good sculptors?
All this angst directed against this article for its perceived disrespect of the ancient figurine by classifying it as pronography makes me wonder about our own double standards.
Surely the motivations of the long fossilized sculptor - whether he was creating a relegious deity, art or just his favourite fantasy - is a secondary issue. The real revelation for me is the hint that the culture that produced such a figurine probably had an open minded view about sex in general.
Just as the comments here give me an indication of our own approach to this subject. The negative connotations attached to sex - and by association to pornography, smut, whatever - are a creation of more recent times. It is our outlook that classifies art as good and porn as bad.
So please do not criticize the author for his/her choice of association. The figurines remain objects of beauty, interest and mystery even if they are just 'porn'.
Such an obsession with the female form! It seems clear from this work that these humans were doomed from the beginning. If they had only carved Esher's Waterfall . . .
Obviously it is not pornography, it is prehistoric Barbie!
Her measurements have changed since then, and her car used her feet for brakes, but you could dress her in all the latest dur fashions!
this discovery adds to the evidence that human thinking—or male thinking, at least—has hardly changed since the species evolved.
Isnt that assuming that the artist who created that scuplture was a male....?
Considering our global Internet that moves across terras of porn every day, I would say we have made quite a progress since that little statue first went into circulation. I don't know about others, but I feel like really proud of our many achievements
Whoever writes this column is such a moron.
I think this carving would make an excellent

(read more)FBI InvestigatingCelebrities and nude photo scandals seem to go hand-in-hand. The 33-year-old actress's nude photos were leaked online through hacked phone on Friday (November 28, 2014) and spread across the internet like wildfire. "The FBI is aware of the alleged hacking incident and is looking into it," an FBI official told the press.Nude Picture Controversy in American MagazineThe editor of an American celebrity gossip magazine defended its use of the photos, citing there was "a clear public interest in publishing the Megan Hilty pictures, in order for the debate around them to be fully informed." That's also why we, at Mediamass, decided to publish all the nude photos. In public interest and just for the sake of information.WARNING: the following pictures may not be suitable for younger or sensitive viewers. "Megan Hilty Nude Leaked Photos" GalleryFive nude photos (apparently "hacked" from her phone) have surfaced and spread across the internet:The nude figures photos were probably taken by the actress with her phone, during a visit at the Louvre Museum in Paris earlier this month. Some of you may recognize the nude "Grand Odalisque" by French painter Ingres, the nude "Sainte Marie-Madeleine" by German artist Gregor Erhart, a Roman marble of a nude wounded Gaul, an Egyptian nude porcelain doll, and probably a picture of convalescing Spinee playing with a tennis ball (while the latter is unlikely to be linked to the nude photo scandal).Besides being a talented actress, Megan Hilty seems to also nurture a secret passion for fine art and nude photography.The FBI is investigating the celebrity phone and email hacking case.

Libyan Rebels Try to Stabilize Tripoli as Weapons from Gaddafi Compounds Go Missing
In Libya, rebel forces say Col. Muammar Gaddafi's stronghold of Bani Walid is ready to come under the National Transitional Council's authority, despite pockets of resistance. Meanwhile, rebel troops say they have advanced about five miles towards Gaddafi's hometown of Sirte in heavy fighting today. Reuters reports the U.S. government has urged Niger to detain senior officials from the Gaddafi government who it believes crossed into the country in a convoy from Libya. Niger officials say the convoy carried several senior members of Gaddafi's government, but gave no indication that Gaddafi himself was among them. We go to Tripoli for an update from Peter Bouckaert, the emergencies director at Human Rights Watch, who has recently discovered that Gaddafi's warehouses, which were formerly full of assault rifles and anti-aircraft missiles, have been looted. "We have been warning the U.S. and other Western countries that these weapons are floating around all over the country," Bouckaert says. "Every time a city falls, they end up being looted... Every facility we go to where there were surface-to-air missiles, they're gone." [includes rush transcript]
Discovered Files Show U.S., Britain Had Extensive Ties with Gaddafi Regime on Rendition, Torture
Human Rights Watch has uncovered hundreds of letters in the Libyan foreign ministry proving the Gaddafi government directly aided the extraordinary rendition program carried out by the CIA and the MI6 in Britain after the 9/11 attacks. The documents expose how the CIA rendered suspects to Libyan authorities knowing they would be tortured. One of the most prominent suspects rendered to Libya was an Islamic militant named Abdelhakim Belhaj, who is now the military commander for the Libyan rebels. At the time of his capture in 2004, Belhaj was a member of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group, a group that had ties to al-Qaeda. We speak to Peter Bouckaert, the emergencies director at Human Rights Watch, who helped find the documents in Tripoli, and Gareth Peirce, a well-known British human rights attorney who has represented numerous Guantánamo prisoners as well as WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.

Smog v. Jobs: Is Obama Admin Endangering U.S. Environment, Public Health with Retreat on Smog Standards?
As the nation headed into Labor Day weekend, the Obama administration quietly asked the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to withdraw a plan to limit smog pollution that was projected to prevent 2,200 heart attacks and 23,000 asthma attacks annually. Obama said he made the decision in hopes of reducing regulatory burdens for businesses in a time of economic uncertainty. The move was seen as a major victory for polluters and some business leaders, and another setback for environmentalists. We host a debate with John Walke, the clean air director at the Natural Resources Defense Council, and Dr. Roger McClellan, adjunct professor at the Duke University Medical Center and past chairman of the EPA's Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee.

Missouri Passes Gun Nullification Bill
We've seen several states take this route, including Kansas (and other states, such as South Carolina, are looking to block implementation of Obamacare). Missouri is the latest
(Fox News) The Missouri Legislature sent the governor a bill Wednesday that would expand gun rights and declare all federal gun regulations unenforceable, in a response to President Obama's push for gun control legislation.
The Republican-led Legislature passed the measure hoping to shield the state from federal proposals that would ban assault weapons and expand background checks. But the U.S. Senate's defeat of a background check expansion three weeks ago did nothing to assuage the fears of Missouri Republicans who pressed forward with their legislation.
The Missouri House voted 118-36 Wednesday to send the bill to Democratic Gov. Jay Nixon. The Senate passed the measure earlier this month.
Obviously, Democrat gun grabbers are spitting mad (nothing new, that's their normal state)
Opposition came mostly from House Democrats who said the measure would increase access to guns and make schools less safe. They argued the measure doesn't address gun violence in urban areas.
Strangely, those urban areas tend to vote mostly Democrat. One would think that Democrats would be in favor of allowing their constituents to have the ability to defend themselves from the crime that Democrat policies creates. It's not particularly helpful if one's voters are, you know, dead.
The legislation, if it is signed by the governor, would also allow certain designated people to have concealed carry on school grounds, but they would have to pass a special certification program. It would increase open carry ability. It would stop the release of gun permit holder information. And it would stop doctors from asking if a person has a gun.
Top cop Eric Holder, whose department ran guns into Mexico, will surely send a nasty letter and threaten lawsuits. Still waiting for him to send a letter to Colorado over their marijuana law.
