Kiwi paracanoeist Finn Murphy is rising faster than even he expected.
Just 12 months after making his international debut, he competed in the Canoe Sprint and Paracanoe World Cup in Germany, finishing second in a dead heat in the men’s KL3 200m final.
His time of 44.91s saw him share silver with Brazil’s Miqueias Elias Rodrigues, while two-time Paralympic champion Serhii Yemelianov claimed gold in 44.14s.
Murphy told Piney the result was pretty unexpected, as he thought he might need another season or two under his belt before he got into medal territory.
