Stewart secures bronze

NSWIS paddler Murray Stewart was again in top form over the weekend after taking bronze in the men’s K4 1000m at the 2011 ICF Canoe Sprint World Cup in Duisburg, Germany.

Stewart was joined by fellow Australians Jacob Clear, Matthew Urquhart and Tate with the quartet clocking a time just over one second from 2:52.109 winning time set by Russia, who were followed by Germany with Australian in third.

Stewart then teamed with Luke Morrison in the final of the men’s K2 1000m, finishing fourth, while Jo Brigden-Jones and Naomi Flood finished seventh in the women’s K4 1000m.
