- Published
Kimberley Woods claimed her fourth medal of the World Cup season, with two silvers and a gold in kayak cross, and a bronze in C1
Britain's Kimberley Woods claimed silver in the women's kayak cross final at the Canoe Slalom World Cup in Paris.
The 28-year-old was edged into second place by New Zealand's Luuka Jones.
But the result was enough for Woods to clinch the overall World Cup series title, to add to the World Championships gold she won at Lee Valley last month.
GB team-mate Joe Clarke was knocked out in the early rounds, but did enough to clinch the men's overall title.
"To win silver is amazing and to come away with the overall title shows my consistency in the event throughout the year," said Woods, after claiming silver on the Vaires-sur-Marne course, which will host the event's Olympic debut at the 2024 Paris Games.
"To have the World Championship title and the overall World Cup title, I'm so excited for next year."
Woods' British team-mate Nikita Setchell, a two-time world champion at under-23 level, finished fourth in her first senior final in the event.
