DUISBURG, GERMANY: <\/strong>Sloan MacKenzie and her teammate Katie Vincent have won world bronze in women\u2019s C2, 500-metres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Windsor Junction product and Vincent narrowly missed out on silver by 0.05 seconds as they settled for the third-place finish at the Canoe-Kayak Sprint World Championships in Duisburg, Germany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the finish, that earned Canada a quota spot in the 2024 Paris Olympics in the women\u2019s C2, 500-metre race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The athletes that will carry the canoe in the event, whether it is MacKenzie and Vincent or two other athletes, will be determined next year before the Olympics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two won their semi-final heat on Thursday to advance to the final on Saturday morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacKenzie and Vincent raced from Lane five and finished across the line 0.05 seconds behind the second-place boat of Spain, with a time of 1:52.956.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chinese racers Shixiao Xu and Mengya Sun won gold with a time of 1:52.775, although they appeared to fade and swerve in their lane near the finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spaniards Antia Jacome and Maria Corbera nabbed silver in a similar time, just ahead of Canada, with a time of 1:52.956.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Cheema racer Craig Spence of Dartmouth and teammate Alix Plomteux placed just off the podium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The duo came across the finish line in fourth place in the C2, 500-metre race semi-final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their time was 0:48\/39, just 0.03 seconds behind the third-place boat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The finish means they will race in the B Final on Sunday, the final day of competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another local racer have helped secured Canada a quota boat for the 2024 Paris Olympics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fall River\u2019s Michelle Russell, who competes out of Abenaki, finished sixth in the K1, 500-metre event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That qualifies Canada a quota spot for the Olympics in that race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
