#Canoeing: Ireland’s three competitors in the men’s K1 (racing kayak) failed to make it through to the semi-finals of the canoe slalom World Championships in Spain today. Eoin Teague, who had a good first run, had five touches in his second – including two on the last three gates – and fell out of contention. Oisin Farrell and Sam Curtis, who both had had two touches each, were also not fast enough to make the top 10 who made it through from this round.  

 Caoimhe O’Ferrall did not make it through in the women’s C1.

#Canoeing: Eoin Teague was the top Ireland performer after the first run of the men’s K1 at the canoe slalom World Championships. Teague negotiated the course with no touches. His time of 94.91 put him in the lead  – but there is a huge entry, and he was pushed out of the top 20 which would have seen him qualify at this stage. Sam Curtis and Oisin Farrell were both given 50-second penalties for missing gates.

 Caoimhe O’Ferrall took 64^th in her first run in the women’s C1.
