Britain’s most successful female canoeist has a chance to make history in Tokyo by becoming the first Olympic champion in the women’s single slalom.
Mallory Franklin, a four-time individual and team world champion, is one of the favourites in the women’s C1 event, included in the Games for the first time as it moves towards gender equality.
The 27-year-old recorded the fastest time in both heats on Wednesday to go into the last two sessions on Thursday, with a talent which has been clear to everyone since she was a child, according to her fiance Ciaran Lee Edwards.
