Kimberley Woods of Great Britain won the canoe slalom world championships for silver.

Klaudia Zwolinska, from Poland, came in behind her in Penrith, Australia, finishing in the bottom half of the course.

Woods, who won bronze in the 2024 Olympics’ kayak cross and K1 competition, managed to finish in third place behind Australia’s Katie Ekhardt.

Any part of the paddler, boat, or paddle that touches one or both poles of a gate will be subject to a two-second penalty.

Woods said, “I believe that touch will leave me a little haunted for a while.”

“I’m pleased with how it turned out, even though it was very minor.

I wished I could go there and give it my best. After the touch, I really enjoyed how I reset, and I really enjoyed how it turned out.

Jurrien Timber and Arsenal are in talks regarding a new contract.

The Gunners want to reward the Netherlands international for his outstanding performances, which have helped him become a crucial member of Mikel Arteta’s side.

Although negotiations are still in progress, all parties are willing to extend his stay in North London past his 2028 expiration date.

The 24-year-old signed for Ajax for £34.4 million in the summer of 2023, but his first season at Emirates was ruined by a prior-season anterior-cruciate ligament injury sustained in Nottingham Forest’s opening game.

He missed the entire season with the injury, but he made 51 appearances between 2024 and 2025.

The defender has kept up his impressive form this year, contributing significantly to Arsenal’s promising start to cement his position as first-choice right-back.

In order to anticipate that the England star’s signing soon comes to an end, the club is also in discussions with Bukayo Saka regarding a new long-term contract.
