BMX rider Nick Kimman wins gold at Tokyo Olympics The 25-year-old cyclocross rider from Luton was the strongest so far in the final at the Ariak Urban Sports Park. Britain’s Guy White won silver, Colombia’s Carlos Alberto Ramirez Yeps won bronze. During a training session on Monday, Kimman collided with a passing officer, causing tears in his knees.

Kimman also wrote history with success. He gave the first Olympic gold to the Netherlands at BMX. At the Rio Games five years ago, he finished seventh in the final, in which Jelle van Gorcom won silver. In 2012, Laura Smalters won bronze in London. Shortly after Kimman ran her gold race, her sister Merrell followed her to Tokyo.

Marit Bowmeister suddenly competes for medals in the laser radial class after the ninth and tenth races. The 33-year-old Freese retaliated after a bad day and advanced from seventh to second in the general rankings. Bouwmeester climbed to second in the rankings, narrowing the gap with Danish leader Ann-Marie Rindum to seven points: 64 points and 71 points. Sweden ‘s Josephine Olsen is third, eight points behind Boumeister. The medal competition takes place on Sunday. The points are doubled.

The team was unable to improve that position during the fifth and second kilometer races from the start of the boat. Gold went to New Zealand, silver to Germany, and bronze to Great Britain.

The disappointment of the sailors of the Holland axis was overwhelming. We came here to win, we dominated so much in the heat, everything that went well in preparation didn’t go exactly right in the Olympic final. We lost all occupations. This is very disappointing, “said Robert Logan, batting first.

Orange was removed from the Olympics. European champion and vice-world champion Yokohama lost 2-2 in a penalty shootout against the United States, while the chances of winning the world championship were assured. The beautiful era of Sarina Wickman, who becomes England national coach after four successful years with Orange, has come to a sad end.

League Martens already had the final chance to shoot the Orange for the semi-final against Canada in the 80th minute, but his weak penalty was blocked by US goalkeeper Alyssa Neyre. In the penalty series, star Vivian Maidema and Anik Nuen did not score from eleven meters.
