Crieff’s Fiona Pennie has been selected to compete in the 2016 Olympics. The Perthshire canoeist was one of four slalom athletes named by theBritish Olympic Association (BOA). Edinburgh’s David Florence has also made the squad. Pennie represented Britain in Beijing 2008 but failed to qualify for London. She has come back stronger than ever, becoming European champion in 2013 and world silver medallist in 2014. She will once again take the seat in the women’s kayak single (K1) for Rio.
