In a nail-biter of a rowing race, New Zealand’s women’s coxless four team have secured third place and the bronze medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
The New Zealand four include Davina Waddy, Phoebe Spoors, and sisters Kerri Williams and Jackie Gowler
The race began with the Netherlands taking an early lead, followed by Britain in second place and Romania in third. New Zealand started off at the back but quickly worked their way up the ranks.
By the 500-meter mark, the Kiwis were in fifth place. However, as the race continued, they advanced to fourth place, showing their determination and skill. At the halfway point, New Zealand surged into third place, putting them in a position to contend for a medal.
With less than 1000 meters to go, the Dutch and British teams maintained their strong leads in first and second place, respectively. New Zealand held a slight advantage over Romania, aiming for a podium finish. As the race reached the 1500-meter mark, the Kiwis were locked in a tight battle with Romania for the bronze medal.
The race was a back-and-forth battle between Netherlands and Britain for the Gold, and on the other hand a battle between the Kiwis and Romania for the third medal.
In the final stretch, the New Zealand team pushed hard and crossed the finish line in third place, earning bronze. This achievement marked their second medal of the morning, adding to the excitement and pride for New Zealand fans, athletes, and rowers.
very interesting
I loved reading it because, I never knew that maybe chocolate might be gone in the future!
save the chocolate…
I enjoyed this reading because
it show what climate changes does!!
they might have to move most chocolate into a colder place, since the climate clock is getting low
so temperature might get higher.
i love chocolate
I’m allergic to dairy, but this makes me sad for my best friends all around NZ (don’t think it’s weird because I actually do). And my chocolate loving cousin, her name is Dana (I’m from South Korea and she told me how to spell her name in Korean but its not pronounced like Dana).
I know that there are chocolate lovers around the world so, poor them or if you like chocolate poor you (even though I’m allergic to dairy, or to make it easy dairy products: cheese, milk, butter etc).
