Rio Olympic silver medallist Luuka Jones has remained in the hunt for the first female slalom canoe medals after the heats in Tokyo.
Jones, in her fourth Olympics, made the 2016 podium in the kayak (double bladed) event, but dipped out on a repeat in these Games.
The 32-year-old from Tauranga, the face of the niche sport in New Zealand, has qualified 11th fastest for the C1 semifinal tomorrow.
The top 18 made it through to the semifinal, with 10 from that going through to the final later in the day.
