On day two of the Canoe Slalom World Championships, Great Britain’s men won silver and their women’s team won bronze.

In Sydney, Australia, Adam Burgess, Ryan Westley, and Luc Royle, the men’s men’s C1 team finished 0.79 seconds ahead of France.

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.

We are extremely happy to learn that we now have a bronze medal.

Woods, Miller, and Forrow all made individual semi-finals, just like the men’s trio, who won the Olympic bronze medal in the same year.

Joe Clarke won the silver medal in the individual time trials on Monday, topping the British nation’s total.
