Great Britain's Kimberley Woods wins women's kayak single bronze at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
Great Britain’s Kimberley Woods clinched Olympic bronze in a dramatic women’s kayak single final at the Vaires-Sur-Marne Nautical Stadium.
With Woods’ fate in the hands of Germany’s reigning champion Ricarda Funk, the Tokyo gold medallist made a major mistake, receiving a 50-second penalty for missing the 20th gate of 23 to miss out on the podium. Commentating for BBC TV, Reeves said: "What a way to start for Woods! She is like a different paddler. She has paddled brilliantly and upped her game throughout, run-on-run.
In Tokyo she was consoled by team-mates by the side of the course after a missed gate contributed to 56 penalty seconds. Little over a month after those Games, Woods was involved in a car accident which left her in a wheelchair one week before the 2021 World Championships.
