Greg Adlam: Canoe Racing NZ chair defends decision to send rookie C2 500m to Paris after infamous race

Canoe Racing New Zealand are defending a situation which has drawn the ire of some fans at the Paris Olympics. The crew finished significantly later than all the other boats - coming in dead last by 45.31 seconds in the quarterfinal stage. Canoe Racing NZ chair Greg Adlam says the team did what they could in a difficult boat. "It's one thing for kayakers to get into a canoe boat and to paddle it, it's another one to actually lay down power on the course. That's the phase we're at now."
