KIMBERLEY Woods won silver representing Great Britain at the Canoe Slalom World Championships in Sydney, Australia.
Woods stormed to silver in the women’s K1 event to claim her second medal of the Championships.
The Rugby canoeist also won bronze in the women’s canoe team final alongside Ellis Miller and Bethan Forrow.
After winning individual silver, Woods said: “I think that touch is going to haunt me for a little bit.
“It was very slight but overall I’m thrilled with that.
“I was flat in the semi final but when I knew I was in the final my energy just changed and during the warm up one of my race songs came on which has helped to amp me up in the back half of the season.
“I wanted to go out there, give it my best. I really attacked it and I’m really pleased with how I reset after the touch.
“I was going for that finishing line, giving it everything and had nothing left when I crossed the finish line, which is what I wanted to do.
“This whole event’s just been amazing, and I can’t wait for the kayak cross now.”
Woods touched gate 12 in the K1 final but recovered to take silver ahead of Australia’s Katie Ekhardt while Poland’s Klaudia Zwolinska won gold.
That came after she helped Britian win bronze in the women’s canoe team final.
Britian initially finished eighth after picking up a 50-second time penalty which was later removed.
Team GB also survived an inquiry from fourth-placed Slovakia to eventually come away with bronze.
Britain finished behind Czechia who won gold and Germany who took silver.
Woods will race in the kayak cross event tomorrow (Saturday, October 4).
