The last afternoon of racing was the 200m finals. Greg and Stu had a 'shoot off' for SA s top K1 200m, as were both in the C final together. The wind had just picked up and Greg pipped Stu to be our first K1 over the line.
In the womens K1 Jen had an intense race and came in 6th, 0.468 behind the winner of the B final.
Bridge had a photo finish for her C final and narrowly came in third.
The K2 mens had another SA shoot off with Shaun and Mike racing Greg and Ryan Louw in the B final. Mike and Shaun finished 0.33 seconds ahead of second place. Their time was faster than the A final s first place, however both races had a head wind so unfortunately the times are not comparable....
Greg and Ryan came in 6th a second behind them.
Well done to all the athletes for an intense 3 days of racing. We had 9 B finals and 3 A finals. This is amazingly promising for the future of SA sprinting.

I hope we have brought home a taste of international sprinting and that you've enjoyed the experience with us.
