Trinidad and Tobago's Chow places 4th in Olympic heat, qualifies for repechage
ROWER Felice Aisha Chow kickstarted Trinidad and Tobago's campaign at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo, Japan, placing fourth in the women's single sculls heat two on Thursday night. Although she did not automatically qualify for the quarterfinal, she still has a chance to secure a spot in the next round through the repechage.
This is Chow's second Olympic appearance. She made her debut for TT at the last Summer Games in Brazil.
Her race began at 8.40 pm and she faced competitors from Uganda, Singapore, Greece, Ireland, Mexico and Singapore.
Chow clocked a time of 8:02:02, finishing fourth, ahead of Uganda's Kathleen Noble (8:21:85) and Singapore's Joan Poh (8:31:12).
Ireland's Sanita Puspure placed first in 7:46:08, followed by Mexico's Kenia Lechuga, who clocked 7:54:21 to finish second, and Greece's Anneta Kyridou finished third in 7:54:28.
There were six heats in total and the three fastest athletes from each heat automatically qualify for the quarterfinal.
The others, 14 in total, will compete in the repechage for a chance to move on to the next round.
Of those 14 athletes, Chow clocked the fastest time, faster than Puerto Rico's Veronica Toro Arana, who finished third in heat three with a time of 8:11:57.
The women's single sculls repechage are set to begin at 8 am Japan time on Saturday, which is 7 pm on Friday in TT.
Chow will face Korea's Hyejeong Jeong, Nicaragua's Evidelia Gonzalez Jarquin and Nigeria's Esther Toko in repechage two from 8.10 am Japan time on Saturday, 7.10 pm on Friday in TT.
The two fastest in each of the three repechage heats will move on to the quarterfinal.

She's soOoO brave o m g
Some youtube comments for the lolz
"She knew she lost the individual competition, and quitting was the easiest way to keep herself relevant. Now she can release a book on mental health and sports."
"I’m sure Nike would make an Kaepernick-style ad of her. I’m calling it."
"The BBC lectured us for over 5 minutes on why she is brave whilst staring straight at us. I was embarrassed for them."
"She comes across as a massively entitled narcissist."

And you as well Soul Collector.
I am fed up with entitled male commentators like this jackass in the video and Piers Morgan using females as their whipping posts.
Does he know that Simone was sexually assaulted FOR YEARS, starting when she was but a mere child? Can he do one backflip without breaking his neck?
Did any of you males piling on on Simone ever, had your lolos massaged by a pedo for years, starting from when you were a little boy?
It took so long for that abuse to finally crack her and dotish people who should know better cannot see beyond the beam in their own eyes.
