Lawrence tames wild water

Rosalyn Lawrence has become the Institute’s latest world champion with a stellar performance in the women’s C1 to take gold at the 2011 ICF Wildwater Sprint World Championships last week in Germany.

Lawrence triumphed over Radka Valikova of the Czech Republic by 0.09 seconds, a win made even more remarkable as it was Lawrence’s first time in the C1 wildwater boat.

Lawrence also finished ninth in the women’s K1.
