Hemmings claims emotional victory 2/2
British canoeist Anna Hemmings has won
the K1 women's senior event at the ICF
Marathon World Championships in Perth,
Australia, for the third time.
The win caps a remarkable comeback by
Hemmings, who has had to overcome
chronic fatigue syndrome.
The 28-year-old, who was told two years
ago she might not compete again, said:
"It's fantastic - I can't describe what
it means to me to win.
"After two tough years, winning is even
more special than the others."
