How New Zealand athletes fared at the London Olympics overnight on Day 3, Monday evening to Tuesday morning:
HOCKEY: Two first-half goals to South Korea's You Hyo Sik consign the Blacks Sticks men to a 2-0 defeat in the opening match at Riverbank Arena.
ROWING: The women's quad scull of EVE MACFARLANE, FIONA BOURKE, LOUISE TRAPPITT and SARAH GRAY break an oar in the repechage to miss a spot in their final; the men's quad of ROBBIE MANSON, MATTHEW TROTT, MICHAEL ARMS and JOHN STOREY win their repechage to qualify for the semi-final; doubles scull FI PATERSON and ANNA REYMER are straight into the final after finishing second in their heat; the men's four of SEAN O'NEILL, CHRIS HARRIS, JADE URU and TYSON WILLIAMS are edged out for third and must race in a repechage on Tuesday.
SWIMMING: NATALIE WIEGERSMA swims more than four seconds slower than her personal best to miss a spot in the women's 200m individual medley semi-finals.
