Ken Wallace

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ken (Kenneth) Wallace, born 26 July 1983 in Gosford, New South Wales, is an Australian flatwater canoer.

Wallace originally competed in Ironman events and only switched to sprint racing at the age of sixteen. Two years later he was individual kayak (K1) 1000m junior world champion in Curitiba, Brazil.

In 2006, with Australian number one Nathan Baggaley serving a drugs ban, Wallace was selected to represent Australia at the world championships in Szeged, Hungary. He took full advantage of the opportunity and achieved his best-ever result as a senior, placing fifth in the K1 1000m final.

Wallace is 188cm (6'2") tall and weighs 89kg (196lbs).
