Canoe Qualifications World Cup 1

The canoe qualification runs have been completed this morning and I have progressed to the semi finals in 3rd position behind Jess Fox and Nanqin Cen from China. My first run was solid however a choice to spin a combination at gate 6 proved costly in time and 2 touches further down the course put me into 3rd place. I managed to put down a faster and cleaner 2nd run, however it wasn't enough to advance me in the overall results. 
16 women competed this morning in the C1W with 7 athletes finishing within 3 seconds (raw time) of the leader! Great to see such tight racing in such a new event. Tomorrow the semi and finals will be contested on a VERY technical and difficult course. Visit this link for live results. Also, check out the interview with myself and Richard Fox here at Sportscene.
