Sophie Ogilvie ( CR Cats ) will make up the Women ’ s C1 trio after pushing Kimberley all the way over the weekend , securing two race wins out of five . This will be Sophie ’ s fourth consecutive year on the senior team , and she narrowly missed out on a medal in the U23 World Championships last year .
Also making her full senior team debut alongside Jonny , Phoebe Spicer ( Lee Valley ) joins Kimberley and Mallory on the K1 Women ’ s and Kayak Cross startline . Having been inspired by the sport after the London 2012 Olympic Games , Phoebe will have the opportunity to compete at a home World Championships in September a stone ’ s throw from where she grew up .
Her performances over the weekend also earned her top U23 boat , as well as a spot on the U23 C1 team .
With a wealth of experience in the Kayak Cross , Nikita Setchell ( Holme Pierrepont ) will feature on the senior team for a second time in the discipline .
The Nottingham paddler is a World Champion at U23 level , having claimed gold in Ivrea last year , and will be hoping to make an impact on the senior circuit this season .
Three race victories and maximum points over the weekend sees Ryan Westley ( Lower Wharfe ) lead the charge in the Men ’ s C1 team . The 2018 European Champion made a number of finals last year , off the back of a significant injury , and will take confidence heading into the upcoming year .
Tokyo 2020 Olympian Adam Burgess ( Stafford & Stone ) secured two race wins during his selection campaign . Adam won bronze at the World Cup in Krakow , as well as consistently finalling and will be hoping to add more accolades to his collection this season .
Completing the team and entering his first season as a senior team athlete , James Kettle ( Lee Valley ) will be the third athlete in the Men ’ s C1 . He raced one senior World Cup last year as well as the U23 circuit , and like Phoebe , will line up on a home World Championships start-line , where he first discovered canoe slalom at London 2012 .
