Jones was the slowest qualifier for the 10-person final this morning, but pulled out an outstanding run as the first paddler.

Later on tomorrow we will have the Australian Opals looking to stay undefeated against Japan and the gymnastics, hockey, men’s rugby sevens finals and more….
She was second in Ivrea and La Seu d’Urgell but a time penalty saw her relegated to 10th in the third leg in Pau.
