Lois Leaver of Great Britain won the bronze medal at Saturday’s Prague Canoe Slalom World Cup competition, joining Adam Burgess of gold.
Despite the 23-year-old Scot receiving a penalty, Leaver finished third in the women’s kayak final by just 0.01 seconds.
Camille Prigent of France and American Evy Leibfarth won gold, while Leaver has already taken bronze in all three of the previous year’s World Cup competitions.
At the start of this month, Burgess won the men’s C1 silver, and the Olympic silver medalist clinched gold on Friday to finish off that feat.
Burgess won the short course format after missing out on the final run in Spain, and it made its debut in the Czech Republic with 12 gates rather than the standard 21.
The 32-year-old defeated Slovenia’s Ziga Lin Hocevar to claim bronze while Olympic champion Nicolas Gestin of France won the C1 team gold at last month’s European Championships.
