# CANOEING: Ireland’s hopes of a place in the final at the canoe slalom World Cup in La Seu d'Urgell in Spain this morning fell away, with Eoin Rheinisch finishing 35th and Ciaran Heurteau 20th. Rheinisch, who complained of food poisoning overnight and might not have competed, had a very poor run with four touches and a resultant eight seconds of time penalties. Heurteau had a conservative run with just one touch, on gate 19.
