Canoeing: Hank and Jenna wrap up their Berg titles

# Canoeing: Forty-seven-year-old Hank McGregor duly swept home on Saturday for an incredible 14th Berg River Canoe Marathon win, maintaining his solid 10-minute lead as he paddled to the finish of the four-day event in Velddrif. Second place went to 53-year-old Robbie Herreveld, making the combined ages of the two top paddlers an amazing 100 years. KwaZulu-Natal paddler Jenna Nisbett came second in the last stage but won the women’s race by six minutes from East London’s Nix Birkett, who won the first and final stages.
