Yoana Georgieva

Olympic debutant Yoana Georgieva secured a place in the quarterfinals today after finishing 3rd in her heat of the 500m single kayak event.

Georgieva, the women's under-23 world runner-up at Auronzo 2023, clocked a time of 1:55.76 in her heat. Despite this strong performance, she did not qualify directly for the August 10 semi-finals, which were reserved for the top two finishers.
