Hope Gordon wins maiden European title
Rogarts's Hope Gordon won her maiden European title at the European Paracanoe Championships in Racice, Czechia.

Gordon produced a superb performance in the VL3 women's final to finish first with a time of 54.221, ahead of compatriot and Paralympic champion Charlotte Henshaw who was 1.27 seconds further back in second.
Gordon, the 2024 Paralympic silver medallist, established herself out in front early on and never relinquished her lead, winning by half a length.
“I've just seen the time and I couldn't believe how quick it was,” said Gordon post-race.
“I thought I messed up the start as well. I just had to move past the first 30 metres and then almost reset.
“I'm genuinely shocked by that time. It's a great course, good conditions, but to do that, at this point of the year with what I've done so far in training with a bit of a different approach to this year, I can't ask for more than that.
“I'm quite excited to see where I can take that.”
