IT WAS a frustrating day for Ireland’s Noel Hendrick, as he narrowly missed out on a spot at the Olympic Games in Tokyo.
The 23-year-old was competing at the K1 Canoe Slalom semi-finals at Ivrea in Italy and agonisingly missed out by just one nation place.
A 24th-place finish with a time of 88.58 at the event saw him just fall short of the coveted spot.
Hendrick, whose past achievements include a fourth-place finish along with his twin brother Robert at the U23 World Championships, will now likely turn his attentions to the Paris 2024 Games.
