Luuka Jones will be competing in her fifth Olympic Games at Paris 2024. The Tauranga paddler won a historic silver medal at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. She qualified seventh for the K1-final, finishing with a stunning run down the 24-gate 242m course in a time of 101.28s.
Jones has given everything to the sport of canoeing, even moving from New Zealand to the UK as a teenager to train with the British team ahead of Beijing 2008, at which the 19-year-old became the first female canoe slalom paddler to represent New Zealand at an Olympic Games.
A key difference between the two canoe slalom disciplines is boat weight. “The Kayak Cross boat is 18kg compared with the 9kg K1. This alone means training is more physical and a higher strength level is required resulting in a new training programme and strategy.”
