Kimberley Woods missed out on landing a medal in her debut Olympic Games after a poor run in the canoe slalom K1 final saw her finish bottom of all the runners following a disastrous run.
Woods reached the final with the sixth fastest time from the semi-final and had hoped to earn a medal having recorded her best time of the season during the run.
But form deserted her in the final, picking up four penalties, one being the hammer blow of 50 seconds deducted from her time after missing going through gate 17 just over halfway through the course.
