The Belarusian team of Irina Pomelova, Nadezhda Popok, Olga Khudenko and Marina Poltoran won the women's K4 500m bronze at the Olympic Games.
The Belarusian team put in a good performance in the final but eventually found themselves behind Hungary and Germany. Hungary clocked 1:30.827, Germany 1:31.298 and Belarus 1:31.400.
Irina Pomelova, Nadezhda Popok, Olga Khudenko and Marina Poltoran have been recently doing good snatching the gold medal at the European championship in 2011 and winning top places in the recent world championships. Olga Khudenko and Marina Poltoran will compete for medals in the women’s K2 500m final on 9 August.
Two Belarusian canoe sprinters, however, failed to win medals. Oleg Yurenia came sixth in the men's K1 1000m final and Alexander Zhukovsky seventh in the men's C1 1000m final.
