Relevant offersManawatu flat water kayaker Anne Cairns isn't ruling out another tilt at the Olympics, but has four years of paddling to worry about before then. It was her first Olympics after missing out on qualifying for the 2008 Beijing Olympics with the New Zealand K4 crew. "I've got waka ama nationals [next month], rafting worlds are in Japan next year and masters worlds with some crew boats [next year]."
