WA athletes; David Berglund, Josh Kippin, Brett McDonald, Julie McDonald travelled to Gualeguaychú, Argentina to represent Australia from the 19th – 26th October.
The competition commenced with the Master’s competition over the 19th and 20th, Australia securing four medals across the two days. Of those medals, two were won by WA athletes, Gold for Brett McDonald in the 55-59 Men’s K2 who partnered up with Brett Greenwood (NSW) and Bronze for David Berglund 65-69 Men’s K1. David also scored another brilliant result, narrowly missing out on another medal to secure 4th in the K2 with John Young (VIC). Julie McDonald secured 9th in the 55-59 Women’s K1 in a very tightly contested field.
