A poor start sank the Swedish canoe duo in the semifinal on K2 500 meters.
The girls had of course hoped to compete for medals. Clearly, they are disappointed, says national team captain Per-Erik "Peken" Rönnestrand.
They got a worse start than the others. I don't know the reason, we'll have to hear from them. It's unfortunate in an Olympic Games semifinal, where you can't afford mistakes.
Instead of a race for the medals, Stensils and Wikberg will compete in the B-final at 1 pm.
