Alan Thompson won the KI 1000 m and then teamed with lan Ferguson, Geoff Walker and Paul McDonald to win the K 4 1000 m. Ferguson won the silver
medal in the single event. The coach, Ben Hutchings, said that more success is expected on the second day when the New Zealanders compete in the K2 1000 m and 500 m and the K 4 500 m.
