SZEGED, Hungary – Canada’s Katie Vincent won gold twice on Sunday to add to a silver and bronze she secured earlier at the Canoe Sprint World Cup in Szeged, Hungary.
Vincent showed her strength with a powerful final 250 metres to win the women’s C1 500 race.
The 27-year-old Vincent from Mississauga, Ont., then dominated a small C1 5000 field to take gold in cold and blustery conditions.
Vincent and partner Sloan MacKenzie finished third in the women’s C-2 500 metre on Saturday.
She had also earned silver in the C-1 200 metre on Friday.
The second ICF Canoe Sprint World Cup begins in Poznan, Poland, in 10 days.
