Ndiatte Gueye of Senegal, Olympics men's single canoe Eton Dorney

Here he is paddling along the course before racing started for the day. He competed in the 1000 metre event this day, and the 200 metre sprint later in the week. In the 1000 metres he was fifth in a heat, fifth in a semi-final, and fifth in the B-final. In the 200 metres he was last on the heats, but all six went through, then last and eliminated in the semi-finals. One pleasant feature of the event was that the spectators kept cheering loudly for competitors like Gueye who lagged behind the leaders and needed encouragement.
