Australia has claimed silver and bronze medals in the womens C1 at the ICF Slalom Canoe Kayak World Cup 1 in Pau, France.
Rosalyn Lawrence (AIS) finished in second place, while Leanne Guinea (AIS) claimed third place in the first running of the womens C1 category at world cup level. Lawrence and Guinea were both competing for the first time at international level
Chinas Nanqin Cen took the gold medal ahead of the Australian pair with a time in the final of 149.56, ten seconds clear of second place Lawrence (159.92). Guinea was made to pay for a 50 second penalty for missing a gate, recording a time of 204.91.
Earlier in the day, Kate Lawrence (NSW) missed out on qualifying for the final of the womens K1.
Lawrence, who won gold in the final world cup event in 2008, had suffered a disrupted build up due to illness and recorded a semi-final run of 125.91, with two seconds of penalties to finish in 15th position. Sarah Grant (VIC) finished in 22nd place after the qualifying runs on Saturday, with Rosalyn Lawrence in 34th.
Robin Bell (WA) finished in 16th place in the semi-final of the mens C1 to also miss out on a place in the ten person final. Bell notched a time of 114.71, recording four seconds of penalties on the tricky French course. Ian Borrows (NSW) had finished in 22nd place after the qualifying runs, while Robin Jeffery placed 25th, with both paddlers missing out on places in the 20 man semi-final.
All three Australian K1 paddlers were not able to qualify for the semi-finals after their two qualifying runs. Warwick Draper (VIC), 22nd, Anthony Brown (NSW), 39th, and William Forsythe (NSW), 60th, must now aim to bounce back in the second world cup event next weekend.
