games have come to an end for three-time Olympian Davey Hearn. The 41-year-old
finished 12th in Monday's slalom canoe competition, behind France's
newly anointed gold medallist Tony Estanguet.
Hearn,
who has been providing journal
entries for myprimetime.com, qualified on Sunday to advance to the
finals with 280.89 total points. Though he had 6 penalty points, Hearn was not
entirely displeased with his qualifying runs. "This was a great way to
kick off the games," he told nbcolympics.com. "There were a few
butterflies, but I had a great attitude going into the race." In
Monday's final, Hearn scored a total of 258.57 points with 4 penalties.
Estanguet waxed the competition, finishing with 231.87. "I
am disappointed for the people who came here to support me and cheer for me
today," Hearn told nbcolympics.com, "But there is a lot of meaning
for me to be here as a 41-year-old paddler, with the next closest in age being
30. I am getting more and more used to congratulating those younger guys." How does he really feel? Is there one more Olympics in Hearn's future? Read Hearn's final journal entry.
