Biography
EVENT: Women's Kite
Justina Kitchen is one of the most experienced female kitefoilers in the world and has claimed top-10 results in a handful of international events since switching from the RS:X (windsurfing) in 2018 - including twice at the world championships and a career-best fifth at the 2019 European championships.
She also managed a ninth place at last year's Paris test event in Marseille before suffering a serious knee injury in September.
Paris 2024 will be Kitchen's first Olympic Games at her third attempt after missing out on selection in 2012 and 2016.
