#Canoeing: Liam Jegou qualified for the final at the canoe slalom World Championships in Krakow this morning. Going off last of the 20 qualifiers for the semi-final, with a high standard already set, Jegou knew he had to produce a good performance. He put in a superb fault-free run to finish second. His time of 90.48 seconds was just .27 off the top time.
