In this morning's Repechage rounds, they raced the 1000M(1) and the 1500M.
In the 1000M(1), we had no men in it - for the Ladies, Katy was 3rd in the Heats and did not advance. Kimi advanced into the Rep Semifinals, but finished 6th & will not go on to this afternoon's Quarterfinals.
In the 1500M, Jessica advanced to this afternoon's Semifinals, but Keith & Jerebelle finished 2nd & 6th in their heats and will not advance.
There will be a break now, and in about 2 hours (1:10pm Eastern, 10:10am Pacific) they'll start the QF's, SF's, and Finals for the 1000M(1) & 1500M, followed by the Relay Semifinals.
