He finished 12th at the European Canoe Slalom Championships in Augsburg in Germany today to take the first of two Olympic qualification places available to countries who had not already qualified. Croatia took the second place by finishing 17th.

Hannah Craig also qualified for Ireland at the 2012 London Games in the K1 racing kayak event.
Her 25th place at the European Canoe Slalom Championships in Augsberg today was the highest position by a boat not already qualified for the Games, and was enough to seal her place at the August event.
Elise Chabbey of Switzerland took the second place on offer by finishing 32nd.
