Emma Twigg will get one more chance to finally claim an Olympic medal – and it could be her time.
The single sculler, who had to deal with the agony of fourth place finishes in Rio and London, has progressed to the A final in Tokyo, after a commanding performance in her semifinal on Thursday.
Twigg even managed a smile, in the middle of the intensity, with 200 metres to go in the race, such was her dominance.
Twigg crossed the line a staggering 4.42 seconds ahead of the second placed finisher, clocking 7.20.70.
