Canadian women whoop it after finishing first/CBC
The Canadian women’s eight rowing team captured its first gold medal in nearly 20 years at the Tokyo Olympics Friday. Canada dominated right out of the gate, with silver medalists New Zealand unable to catch them and lagging more than a second behind throughout the race. China managed to edge out Australia for the bronze. The women are Lisa Roman, Kasia Gruchalla-Wesierski, Christine Roper, Andrea Proske, Susanne Grainger, Madison Mailey, Sydney Payne, Avalon Wasteneys and Kristen Kit.
