The big question for The NZ Team heading into Day 15 of the Paris Olympics is Lisa Carrington or Aimee Fisher?
Will Carrington win a third gold medal in Paris and an eight Olympic gold medal, will the Kiwi pair finish 1-2 in the women's K1 500m at the Vaires-sur-Marne Nautical Stadium or will another competitor upset New Zealand's canoe sprint dominance?
LATEST HEADLINES:
Carrington and Fisher will contest the women's K1 500m semifinals (from 8.30pm NZ Time), with expected appearances in the final at 11pm NZT.
