Murabito, however, failed to advance into the semi-finals, as she ranked twenty-fifth overall, and placed outside the qualifying spots for the next round.{{cite web|title=Women's Kayak Single (K1) 200m Heat 1|url=http://www.london2012.com/canoe-sprint/event/kayak-single-200m-women/phase=cfw112900/index.html|publisher=London 2012|accessdate=17 February 2013|archive-date=15 August 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120815101323/http://www.london2012.com/canoe-sprint/event/kayak-single-200m-women/phase=cfw112900/index.html|url-status=dead}}
