PARIS (Reuters) - Britain's Joe Clarke and Camille Prigent of France were fastest in the time trials on Friday ahead of the much-anticipated debut of kayak cross at the Paris Games on Saturday.
With each canoeist taking to the water individually, Clarke sped through the course in a time of 66.08 seconds and Prigent made it down in a time of 70.33, marks that will have little relevance when the races, each featuring four athletes on the course at the same time, begin on Saturday.
