Britain’s Westley wins World Championship silver

Ryan Westley of Great Britain won silver in the men’s C1 in Sydney, earning him the third individual canoe slalom medal of his career.

The 32-year-old finished 0.9 seconds behind Nicolas Green from France to improve both his Rio 2018 silver medal and bronze medal haul in 2015 London.

Westley remarked, “Everything went really well.”

There is not much I can do about it, sadly, because there was another guy on the start line who was a little better than me.

My final run was fantastic, I must say. I took a little while to get there, but once that happened, I felt really sucked in.
