It was a dramatic scene today as rower, Mahe Drysdale grabbed bronze in the men’s single skulls final.
Drysdale had a tummy bug, the week before the race after a grueling semi-final race. He made a gigantic effort just to get to the race! Drysdale said “ It just felt hard getting up!”
For the first 1000 meters he said he felt great and put the hammer down to speed ahead. But at the last 500 meters he said his legs went to lead and slowed down, allowing Olaf Tufte of Norway to get gold and Ondrej Synek of the Czech Republic to grab silver.
A the end of the race Drysdale said “ The bronze medal- I highly value it because I know I put in a titanic effort”
