Canadian sprint canoeist Katie Vincent sets world record in women's C1 500m
Canadian sprint canoeist Katie Vincent set a world record in the women's C1 500-metre event on Sunday at the national trials in Montreal. The 29-year-old Olympic champion clocked a time of two minutes 0.609 seconds in the final at the Olympic Basin, breaking the previous mark of 2:00.73 set by Alena Nazdrova of Belarus at the 2019 world championships in Szeged, Hungary. 2022 world silver medallist Sophia Jensen of Chelsea, Que., finished one spot behind Vincent in 2:03.159. Vincent, who hails from Mississauga, Ont., became the first-ever Canadian woman to capture Olympic gold in the sport last summer in Paris by winning the C1 200m race — the lone individual women's canoe sprint event at the Games. The two-time Olympian won bronze medals in Tokyo and Paris in the C2 500m event.
