McMaster Grad scores the Silver!

 
McMaster Grad Scores a Silver Medal in the Mens 500M Single Kayak Event!

McMaster Graduate Adam von Koeverden took a silver medal in the Mens 500M Single Kayak event yesterday night. Many say that it was the worst performance of his career but von Koeverden is keeping his head up despite being beaten by Aussie Ken Wallace by more than one second. Adam was quoted saying that he's simply happy to have finished considering the amount of stress he's been under in the last 24 hours.

Either way, we're proud of Adam!

Yay! I'm glad he got a medal for that one. I watched his first final live and he was close to crying after he came in 8th. Poor guy.

My boyfriend used to be a provincial-level kayaker and talked to me about his race, and how it went and whatnot (because it was on at 1:30 his time and 3:30 our time...so he watched it)

He said he just seemed off and didn't have a good race. There was some kayak-y terms in there, but damned if I can remember them right now.

Nevertheless, 8th in the WORLD is still good!
