Welcome to rm7's blog my name is Nikki and I will be giving you the daily New Zealand Olympic news.
Day one news.
equestrian: Mark Todd has done very well and got only 39.10 penalty points and is going to be placed in the individual three-day eventing after the dressage. Sadly Caroline Powell and Andrew Nicholson produced disappointing scores.
rowing: In the men's
lightweight double scullers Peter Taylor and Storm Uru were beaten in
their heat by the British defending Olympic and world champions Mark
Hunter and Zac Purchase. Both crews progress to Thursday night's semi-finals (New Zealand time).
At the two other World Cups where the New Zealanders competed this season they finished with silver and gold medals.
soccer:
At Old Trafford Chris Wood's goal earned the New Zealand men's
footballers a 1-1 draw with Egypt. They could still mathematically reach
the quarter-finals, if they beat Brazil.
swimming: Lauren Boyle finished 8th in the women's 400m freestyle final, after qualifying fourth fastest.
sailing: Sailor Dan Slater is seventh after two races of the Finn.
cycling: Cyclist Linda Villumsen negotiated treacherous wet conditions in the women's road race to finish 18th.
kayak: Mike Dawson has qualified for the semifinals in the men's kayak slalom.Dawson sat in eighth after the first run with a score of 90.90 and had the sixth best score of 88.58 on his second run.
