Clarke wins second medal to take GB tally to four

To increase Great Britain’s total to four, Joe Clarke won his second medal at the Canoe Slalom World Championships.

On day three of the Championships in Sydney, Australia, Clarke won the bronze medal for the men’s kayak team along with Ben Haylett and Jonny Dickson.

France came in second only 0.06 seconds ahead of Japan, with Great Britain coming in third, a further 0.04 seconds behind.

Clarke, 32, won the silver medal in the individual time trials on Monday, opening the medal haul for Britain.

“It helped me push up, indulge the guys, and set the tone for the run.” Although it was a great run, Clarke remarked about the tight margins.

Adam Burgess, Ryan Westley, and Luc Royle, the men’s team, won silver on Tuesday, trailing France by 0.79 seconds.

After a nervy wait at the finish, the women’s team took home a bronze in the same discipline.

After a 50-second penalty that was later removed, the British trio of Kimberley Woods, Ellis Miller, and Bethan Forrow initially placed eighth.

Before they could celebrate their medal, they had to wait until an investigation from Slovakia, which had placed fourth, was finished.

We thought we managed to recover really well from the top incident, Miller said.
