By David LeggatNew Zealand canoeing bosses will get a first look at the depth of women's paddling when two K4 crews line up in a straight final at the world cup regatta in Portugal late tonight. "Lisa is a great athlete and quality for any kind of team," former Danish Olympic paddler Olsen said from Portugal. "She's working really hard and she's been good at putting her power into the boat." "And there was really good commitment from those four to six other girls in the programme. There's still a long way to the worlds but I'm sure we'll come away from this regatta with a lot of good results," Olsen added.
