A quirk of the Tokyo wind – or lack of it – means two of New Zealand’s strongest gold medal hopes will chase repeat Olympic titles on a bumper Tuesday. Lisa Carrington looked imperious in her K1 200m heat win and will paddle for a third successive Olympic gold in her top event at 2.37pm (NZT). Josh Junior (Finn) is an outside medal hope too, sitting fourth entering his double points race. Steve McArthur/Photosport Lisa Carrington produced an Olympic-best time in her K1 200m semifinal win. Join us back here around noon for continued live coverage of all the New Zealanders in Tokyo.
