Ricarda Funk (born 15 April 1992) is a German slalom canoeist who has competed at the international level since 2008, specializing in the K1 discipline and since 2021 also in kayak cross.

[1] Funk won the gold medal in the K1 event at the delayed 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

This gold medal came after the disappointment of 2016, when she failed to qualify for the Rio games after losing to Melanie Pfeifer in the internal German qualification.

[2] By winning the 2021 World K1 title as well as the Olympic K1 gold at the delayed Tokyo games, Funk became the first canoe slalom athlete to win both an Olympic and a World title in the same discipline in the same year.

A feat that is unlikely to be repeated since the World Championships typically don't take place in Olympic years.
