Britain amongst the medals
Since its introduction to the ICF Programme eight years ago , Britain ’ s slalom athletes have had a huge amount of success in the discipline across the age ranges . As recently as the 2022 World Championships in Augsburg , Rio ’ s Canoe Slalom Olympic Champion Joe Clarke MBE applied his trademark power and speed to the sport to claim back to back World Championship titles in the men ’ s event . Nikita Setchell is another British athlete who has back to back World titles , as she triumphed in both Tacen and Ivrea at the 2021 and 2022 U23 World Championships respectively , establishing herself as a force in the discipline . Tokyo 2020 Olympian Kimberley Woods won an impressive silver at the 2022 World Championships in Augsburg this year also . It doesn ’ t stop there , with Mallory Franklin and Chris Bowers winning gold at various World Cups across the season , as well as Etienne Chappell , Arina Kontchakov and Ed McDonald also on the podium in U23 & Junior Championships .
