Next up is the women's pair. Canada going out hard, followed by New Zealand and not-Russia. Much tighter pack than the men's race so far.
Canada still up at the 500, NZL, then #TeamGB, who've passed not-Russia to get into the bronze position.
Halfway through, it's CAN, then NZL, then GBR. But it's close.
Here come the Kiwis, though. They've walked through Canada like it was nothing. GBR still 3rd but not-Russia in striking distance.
500 to go, ROC has gotten back into 3rd by a nose, behind NZL and CAN, but GBR still in the hunt with 250. It's gonna be close, 4 boats 3 medals.
GBR had some steering trouble. ROC crosses in 2nd behind NZL. CAN comes back for a bronze.

CRO M2- is already out to a decent lead at the 500. Looking flawless. Wow.
They're still comfortably up at the 1000. Denmark and Romania fighting for 2/3.
Denmark now in 3rd, Romania within striking distance but Croatia is making this look easy.

Not looking good for #TeamGB in the men's four. They've won it at every Olympics since @SteveRedgrave5, @matthewcpinsent, et al took gold in Sydney (Redgrave's 5th!) but they've got some ground to make up on AUS with 1000 to go.
Holy shit, GBR lost control and steered into ITA's lane.

AUS takes gold, ROM silver, ITA bronze. GBR 4th.
Australia's win in the M4- is their first since 1992.

HAPPENING NOW: The Kraken sanctions hearing is back. Lin Wood is now trying to argue that the court has no jurisdiction over him. because the complaint does not have his email address or signature, and he did not apply for local admission to practice.
Wood: "Regardless of whether there was some misunderstanding about why my name got put on there. Each lawyer will affirm to you that I did not have any input into any one of these pleadings or affidavits and I was not asked to have any input into them."
Judge Parker says she'll let Wood submit a brief on why she doesn't have jurisdiction over him.

HAPPENING NOW: Sidney Powell, Lin Wood, and other "Kraken" lawyers are now in a Michigan virtual courtroom for a hearing on whether they should be sanctioned.
District Judge Parker has called the hearing to provide Kraken lawyers an opportunity to answer questions she deems relevant on whether she should sanction them. She is making clear that she has read all the briefs, does not want lawyers re-arguing what they've written.
"I have questions I want to give you the opportunity to answer," Judge Parker says.

NEW: As former President Trump starts his "revenge tour" of rallies against challengers to House members who voted to impeach him, some Republicans are worried that he'll do to the House what he did to Georgia Senate candidates. independent.co.uk/voices/trump-r…
“We’re playing with lawn darts,” said one GOP consultant works with House candidates. “He [Trump] is fun for the base, but it’s only a matter of time until the fun kills people, our chances of winning a totally winnable election, or both.”independent.co.uk/voices/trump-r…
Former Republican National Committee Chair @MichaelSteele said he frequently hears from GOP House members who do not want the former president bringing his “Save America” tour to their states — or anywhere. independent.co.uk/voices/trump-r…

...We will use all existing provisions in the voting rights act, The National voter registration act, to help America vote act and the uniform and overseas citizens absentee voting act to ensure that we protect every qualified American seeking to participate in our democracy.
We are scrutinizing new laws that seek to curve access and where we see violations we will not hesitate to act. We are also scrutinizing current laws and practices in order to determine whether they discredit against black voters and other voters of color, particularly...
