Australia has won its second medal at the ICF Slalom World Championships at Penrith’s Whitewater Stadium, with Kate Eckhardt claiming bronze in the women’s K1 final.<\/p>\n

Bassett wins bronze at world titles<\/a><\/p>\n

Australia’s Kaylen Bassett manages Australia’s first podium finish at the ICF Slalom World Championships in Penrith.<\/p>\n

She shifted back to the silver-medal position when Poland’s Klaudia Zwoli\u0144ska (100.32) completed her run, before Great Britain’s Kimberley Woods (102.09) moved into second place.<\/p>\n

Eckhardt had to endure an anxious wait when Camille Prigent went down as the final paddler, but the Frenchwoman eventually finished in sixth place.<\/p>\n

“I was proud of the run that I did, so I was really, really happy with how I performed and I put it all out there,” Eckhardt told the Nine Network.<\/p>\n

“So, I just had to wait and see. There were so many fast girls out there.<\/p>\n

“I was very, very nervous looking at who was to come.”<\/p>\n

Eckhardt’s teammate No\u00e9mie Fox (114.40) finished 12th in the final.<\/p>\n

It is Australia’s second medal of the world titles, with Kaylen Bassett collecting the bronze medal in the men’s C1 event on Thursday<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Zwoli\u0144ska has two gold medals, having topped the podium in the women’s C1 final.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Australia has won its second medal at the ICF Slalom World Championships at Penrith’s Whitewater Stadium, with Kate…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":186837,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[64,63,118057,114847,119093,44,114848,16284,2798],"class_list":["post-186836","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-australia","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-bronze-medal","tag-icf-slalom-world-championships","tag-kate-eckhardt","tag-news","tag-noemie-fox","tag-penrith","tag-world-titles"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/186836","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=186836"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/186836\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/186837"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=186836"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=186836"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=186836"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
