Canoe
Wolffhardt three seconds short of the final
Canoeist Viktoria Wolffhardt was eliminated from the semi-finals of the single canoe competition at the Olympic Games on Wednesday. Although the Lower Austrian did not incur any penalty seconds in the white water channel in Vaires-sur-Marne, she had the slowest running time. In the end, she was three seconds short of the final.
That was only enough for 14th place among the 18 semi-finalists, with the top twelve competing for the medals. The fastest in the preliminary round was the Czech Gabriela Satkova.
Mistake costs a lot of time
Wolffhardt missed a gate at the key point of the course, a mistake that cost the 30-year-old a lot of time. Her chance of making it to the final was gone, 3.2 seconds off twelfth place. Felix Oschmautz will compete in the semi-finals of the single kayak on Thursday and is aiming to make it into the medal decision.
