Australias Kim Brennan has rowed the perfect race to break an eight-year Olympic gold medal drought with a commanding victory in the womens single sculls at Rios Lagoa Stadium.After no gold from Australias rowers in London and two silver this week in Rio, the pressure was on world champion Brennan to deliver.Brennan rowed the race of her life to lead from start to finish, beating home American Genevra Stone and Chinas Duan Jingli with highly fancied Kiwi Emma Twigg fourth.Brennan said her plan was always to go out fast, aware that a strong cross-wind through the last section of the course would make it difficult for others to catch her.She led by 3.72 seconds at the halfway mark, eventually crossing 1.38 seconds ahead of the field.The 31-year-old said she had to pinch herself that it had finally happened,We do so much visualisation and you imagine that moment so many times, Brennan said.Just crossing the line I couldnt work out whether that was actually it or just my imagination again; I cant really believe it.Its Brennans third Olympic medal after winning bronze in the event in London and silver in the double sculls when she rowed as Kim Crow before changing her name after marrying fellow rower and Beijing gold medallist Scott Brennan late last year.Brennan arrived in Rio unbeaten in the event since 2014.She had a shock loss in the heats, held in wind and waves, but quickly got her campaign back on track.Despite the favourite tag Brennan said the only pressure she felt was from herself.The most pressure comes from myself because I know how much Ive put into this over the years.I was away from my husband for three and a half months and its really quite a selfish thing to do and the pressure was partly because I wanted to make it feel worthwhile, she said.You can walk away incredibly happy if you know youve given the best show of yourself and Im so chuffed to have a gold medal.

Theyve jettisoned over 700 games of AFL experience this week, but Sydney are adamant they have picked on form and arent taking Carlton lightly.Sydneys three oldest players Ted Richards (33), Jarrad McVeigh (31) and Ben McGlynn (30) wont be facing the Blues at the SCG on Saturday.Co-captain McVeigh tweaked his groin at training, while McGlynn and Richards were both dropped.Among the inclusions were debutant Jordan Foote and Richards younger brother Xavier, who has played just two senior games.Sydney will field nine players with fewer than 30 appearances and five with ten or less.If they (Carlton) have done their homework they will see that Xavier has kicked 20 goals in the last three or four (NEAFL) games and Jordan Foote had played hard all season, Swans senior assistant coach Stuart Dew told AAP.If they take those guys lightly they will get a shock. Weve picked a team that we feel is fit and in-form and we certainly havent disrespected Carlton in any way.We really went with form players regardless of their age.After losing three of their last five games, including successive home matches Sydney have slipped back into the pack.Sydney top the AFLs contested possessions category and Carlton are bottom and while Sydney have had a distracted build-up with the arrest of injured defender Michael Talia, Dew is adamant the Swans wont be off their game.dddddddddddd.He hasnt really been mentioned this week because its been dealt with by the club really swiftly, Dew said.Carlton regain spearhead Levi Casboult from suspension, and Blaine Boekhorst returns for his first game since round three following hamstring and wrist problems.While the Swans suggested they would try to keep a close rein or rising Blues star Patrick Cripps, Carlton coach Brendon Bolton remains adamant the young midfielder needs no protection from his more senior teammates.Hell be up for the fight, theres no doubt about that, Bolton said.Hes a big boy. I dont think he needs protection.Stoppages are going to be critical and we know they have got some real strong bodies in around there.Its going to be a great contest for Gibbs, Curnow and Cripps, so were really looking forward to that challenge.
