Big congratulations to Quaid Thompson, who won his first open K1 1000m title today, edging out Max Brown and Kurtis Imrie. He still has a little while to go to catch his dad Alan, who won seven titles in the race between 1981 and 1994... but at 20, Quaid's also got a year's head-start!For the record, Alan Thompson won the K1 1000m from 1981-86, then again in 1994. He won Olympic gold at the distance in 1984, world championship silver in 1982 and bronze in 1983.
