World Sprint Championships – Success for Sam!
This year at the Sprint World Championships in Canada, Women’s C1 and C2 races featured as exhibition races. The GB Women’s canoe team consisted of our very own Sam Rippington and her C2 partner, Lisa Suttle from Chelmsford Canoe Club. Both put up very creditable performances in the C1 races with Sam finishing 7th in the 200m event and Lisa finishing 6th in the 500m. However in the C2 events they really showed the competition a thing or two winning silver in the 500m and bronze in the 200m.
