Tiffany Kruger (born July 18, 1987 in Durban) is a South African sprint canoeist.[1][2] Kruger is a member of Natal Canoe Club in Pietermaritzburg, and is coached and trained by former Olympic silver medalist Attila Adrovicz of Hungary (1992).[3][4]
Kruger represented South Africa at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, where she competed in the first ever women's K-1 200 metres. She paddled in the third heat against six other canoeists, including former Olympic champion Inna Osypenko of Ukraine. Kruger, however, failed to advance into the semi-finals, as she finished seventh in her heat by nearly three seconds behind Slovakia's Ivana Kmeťová, with a time of 46.122 seconds.[5][6]
