Rowing: Netherlands, China win gold

July 28, 2021 11:16

Dutchwoman Annemiek van Vleuten romped to gold in the time trial, winning by a massive 56 seconds over 22km.

It was the sweetest of moments for the 38-year-old in her last Olympics.

Van Vleuten, who suffered spinal injuries in a serious crash when in sight of gold at the Rio Olympics road race, was a class apart with Switzerland's Marlen Reusser the only other of the 25 starters to get within a minute of her time of 30:13.49.

Van Vleuten's team mate Anna van der Breggen, the reigning world champion, finished with a bronze medal, 1:01.63 back.

In rowing, the Netherlands and China posted world best times to win gold in the men's and women's quad sculls races.

China clinched the women's quad sculls in 6:05.13, more than six seconds ahead of silver medallists Poland and bronze winners Australia.
