The 2016 Olympic champion, 30, finished 2.98 seconds behind Italy's Giovanni de Gennaro, with Germany's Hannes Aigner in third.

Clarke went off second after finishing ninth in the semi-finals.

Clarke will attempt to win his second medal of the event in the kayak cross in Sunday's final day of the competition.
