PARIS – Canadian sprint canoeists Katie Vincent and Sloan MacKenzie will race for gold after finishing first in a women’s doubles 500-metre semifinal Friday.
Vincent, of Mississauga, Ont., and MacKenzie, of Windsor Junction, N.S., finished in one minute 55.34 seconds and will compete for a medal on Friday afternoon.
The duo set an Olympic record in their heat on Tuesday, only to see it broken by China’s Shixiao Xu and Mengya Sun in Friday’s semis.
Four other Canadian boats missed the cut to compete for medals Friday and will instead take part in placing races later in the day.
Pickering, Ont.’s Courtney Stott and Manotick, Ont.’s Natalie Davison finished eighth in the women’s doubles 500-metre semifinals with a time of 1:42.57, while on the men’s side, Pierre-Luc Poulin and Simon McTavish finished the doubles 500-metre semifinal in sixth place with a time of 1:29.01.
Canoeist Connor Fitzpatrick of Dartmouth, N.S., came in eighth in the men’s 1,000-metre semifinal with a time of 3:56.31.
