Live updates of day 11 from the Rio Olympics
Lisa Carrington has successfully achieved the first of her two major goals for the Rio Olympics, claiming back-to-back gold medals in the women's K1 200m canoe sprint event.
Carrington headlined a busy night for New Zealand athletes and she never looked
like failing to deliver.
Her performance was even more dominant than her victory in London four years ago, this time she was always amongst the race leaders before using her power and stamina over the second 100m to claim the gold.
She'll attempt to become the first ever Kiwi woman to win two gold medals at the same Olympics when the K1 500m event begins tomorrow morning.
