## Resource

Seventeen-year-old Jacqueline Kennedy from Gisborne just shattered New Zealand’s 13-year junior canoeing medal drought with a jaw-dropping gold in the women’s K1 500m at the junior world championships in Halifax, Canada — winning by a mere 0.08 seconds in a nail-biting finish. Her victory not only marks her as New Zealand’s first-ever junior world champion in canoeing but also ignites hope for the sport’s future, especially in her hometown. Fellow Gisborne paddler Taylor Newman also shone, reaching the A final and helping the national K4 team secure a historic fourth-place finish. Kennedy’s triumph, fueled by community support and relentless dedication, is already inspiring a new generation — proving Poverty Bay and its kayak club are rising as global paddling powerhouses.
