Lydia Keefe Sampson advanced to the semifinals of the C1 200m on Friday at the ICF Canoe Sprint World in Racice, Czech Republic but was unable to secure a spot in the single final. Sampson finished seventh of nine competitors in her heat with a time of 54.074 to grab the last automatic spot into the semifinals. Sampson needed a top three finish in the semifinals to advance to the only final being held on Saturday but finished sixth in 52.140.

Timothy Hornsby will begin competition in the K1 200m on Saturday with a heat and likely semifinal. Hornsby has a good chance to make one of the three finals being held in the event on Sunday.
