New Zealand's kayak sprinters and track cyclists are in fine fettle ahead of medal finals in the coming days.

Dame Lisa Carrington and the K4 500m team were top qualifiers for their final, and they're in good shape in the K2 500m as well.

In the team pursuit, the women's team nearly set a world record in qualifying fastest for the first round, where another win will secure a gold medal ride.
