It’s two down, one to go for Isaquias Queiroz…

The 22-year-old Brazilian sprint canoeist’s quest to win three medals at 2016 Rio Games stayed on course on Thursday in a dramatic finish to the Men’s Canoe Single 200 Meter race, when he fell overboard at the finish and claimed bronze.

Ukraine’s Iurii Cheban took gold in 39.279 seconds with Valentin Demyanenko of Azerbaijan clinching silver just 0.214 seconds behind.

Queiroz, beloved among fans here at the Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon, especially after claiming Brazil’s first ever Olympic medal in canoing, trailed for much of the race.

His quest to claim a spot on the podium in three events this year seemed all but lost as he got off to a rough start at the unforgiving 200-meter distance.

A daring bid in the last stretch sent him soaring over the finish line and, ultimately, into the water, two days after he took silver in the men’s C-1 1000-metre race.

Queiroz returns tomorrow to compete in the Men’s Canoe Double 1000 Meter heat.
