Germany Wins Canoe Gold In Men's C2, Women's K2

Four flatwater medals were given out at the lake at Eton Dorney, and Germany took the top prize in two events.

Germany took the men's C-2 1000m and women's K-2 500m, and now now has three golds in canoeing and kayaking and eight overall medals -- both of which lead any country at the Olympics. Hungary, on the other hand, caught the bum end of the stick with a pair of silvers: Zoltan Kammerer, on the Hungarian four that took second place, had been looking for a fourth Olympic gold, and Katalin Kovacs, who was on the second-place women's K-2 boat, had just beaten a German squad featuring Franziska Weber and Tina Dietze in the K-4 Wednesday to end a 16-year streak of German medals before the German pair had their opportunity to exact their revenge a day later.
