Overview

• The DKV’s only medals were two silvers from the women’s C1 and K1 team events on the Sydney 2000 course.
• In kayak-cross, Ricarda Funk finished sixth with Andrea Herzog seventh, and Noah Hegge placed seventh overall after the small final.
• Funk was fourth in the K1 final, missing bronze by 0.39 seconds as Poland’s Klaudia Zwolinska won ahead of Britain’s Kimberley Woods and Australia’s Kate Eckhardt.
• Former world champions Elena Lilik and Herzog exited in the C1 semifinals, with head coach Klaus Pohlen pointing to strong, gusty winds in the runs.
• Funk’s preparation was hampered by a broken primary paddle and a late-arriving replacement, and the head coach described the overall German performance as very disappointing.
