On Thursday 2nd of August New Zealand won a gold medal!!! They won the race for rowing.Their names are Nathan Cohen and Joseph Sullivan isn't that great!!!! Sullivan in the stroke seat flung his arms in the air and sank back into Cohen's lap. Their win follows bronze medals for the equestrian eventing team and coxless pair Juliette Haigh and Rebecca Scown 24 hours earlier. It was nothing new them. They do a lot of their racing from behind. They are New Zealand's seventh Olympic rowing gold medallists dating back to the coxed four at Mexico City in 1968. Cohen and Sullivan are not noted for their fast start and it was the same for last night. But what counted was that they did in the final 500 meters and more importantly getting to the line first.
