She paddled in the third heat against six other canoeists, including former Olympic champion Inna Osypenko of Ukraine. Kruger, however, failed to advance into the semi-finals, as she finished seventh in her heat by nearly three seconds behind Slovakia's Ivana Kmeťová, with a time of 46.122 seconds.[5][6]
