Golden Glow: Twins do it again for New Zealand
Yahoo!Xtra Sport - August 16, 2008, 9:00 pm
Defending Olympic champions Georgina and Caroline Evers-Swindell have done it again.
The golden girls of 2004 turned it on in Beijing tonight to collect New Zealand's first gold of the Olympics.
But they were forced to battle all the way to the line.
Their close rivals China and Germany took the bull by the horns from the very beginning setting a stunning pace leaving the rest of the field behind them.
The Kiwi crew were forced to fight and that's exactly what they did.
They pulled up alongside the Chinese crew and began to haul in the Germans.
With 500 metres to go the Germans held a 1.65 second lead over the Evers-Swindells as the Great Britain double started forcing their way in to the picture.
The twins left nothing in the tank and coming down to the line they were neck and neck.
And as they went over the line there was nothing separating either boat.
To the naked eye it was a dead heat but after video footage was inspected the Kiwis were awarded the gold by .01 of a second.
The Kiwi's living in Oz are so very proud of Kiwi's at Beijing right now pitty we don't get too see them win.
we did get to see a great NRL game though!!!!!!
