This is Vincent-Lapointe’s third gold medal of the season. The other two came last weekend in Poland, where she won the C1 200m, and and teamed up with Vincent to win the C2 500m event.

The Canadian will be back in her boat twice tomorrow, first for the C2 500m with teammate Kate Vincent, then in C1 5000m.
