After an exciting qualifier yesterday in which Colin and Graeme squeaked into the B final by a single placing each, Damian missed the A final by one second, Lee missed the B final by seconds, and Emily Kemp qualified convincingly for the A final, it was time to lay it all on the line in the last individual race of the week, the Middle finals.
