Karsten of BLR is the defending Olympic and World Champion, and undefeated in World
Cup racing this year. She is favored to win the gold medal. The times shown in the race
report below are simply a mix of the times these scullers had in their preliminary heats.
The best scullers shut down after the first 500 meters, so only the first 500 meter times
mean anything on a comparative basis. We expect BLR, GER and RUS to qualify in that order
for the FA final.LANE CREW RELATIVE POSITIONS ELAPSED SPLIT
