It's hard to argue with her success and catches! As for Chad, this was his first time fishing a big body of water from a kayak... Think he did alright? Kristine Fischer | Kentucky Afield | Facebook

Einmal die Fahne bei Olympischen Spielen tragen, der Traum eines jeden Sportlers. 🚣🏻‍♀️ Die achtfache Olympiasiegerin Birgit Fischer durfte 2000 in Sydney ran, hat jedoch keine guten Erinnerungen an den Moment. 😅 | Riverboat
