Mallory Franklin: Making canoeing history again
In Tokyo she won an historic silver and in Paris she’s taking part in a new event.
Windsor's Mallory Franklin made history in Tokyo by claiming silver in the first ever female C1 canoe slalom final. She had long campaigned for women to be allowed to compete in the event. So is another medal on the cards in Paris? If so, she'll have to make history again, as she's taking part in a brand new event - Kayak Cross - which sees four boats tipped off the ramp before they race down the course.
Chris Slegg has been speaking to her.
