Ukraine's Cheban takes C1 200 sprint title


DORNEY  - Ukraine's Yuri Cheban stormed to gold in the men's inaugural C1 200 at the London Olympics on Saturday in a thrilling race before packed grandstands on Dorney Lake. The sprint over 200 metres is new to the Olympic programme and designed to increase interest in the sport, with the canoeists taking three strokes per second in an explosive fight for the line. Cheban, a bronze medallist from Beijing, flew off the start and had half a length lead by 100 metres. Lithuania's Jevgenij Shuklin took silver and Russia's Ivan Shtyl, the 2010 world champion, took the bronze.
