The Asian Games silver medallist will be taking part in the semi-finals on Aug 10.
PARIS – Thanks to the rules, Singapore kayaker Stephenie Chen could make full use of the women’s K1 500m heat to shake off her nerves and put in a better performance in her quarter-final to secure a semi-final spot.
Ahead of her were Belgian Lize Broekx , Canadian Michelle Russell , Bulgarian Yoana Georgieva and Croat Anamaria Govorcinovic . “It’s a whole different atmosphere out here, the crowd is crazy. I tried to imagine it like the 2024 World Cup in Hungary where the crowd was always so full-on, but this was on a different level.
She is so focused on “doing my best”, she shared she is not really sure about how the rules work in terms of progression to the later stages.
