GB's Clarke & Woods win Olympic kayak cross medals

Great Britain's Joe Clarke won Olympic silver in the chaotic men's kayak cross at Paris 2024.

But team-mate Kimberley Woods had to settle for bronze in the equally entertaining women's event moments earlier.

The British pair each qualified by winning their quarter-final and semi-final races on Monday, leaving a double gold celebration looking possible.

Reigning world champion Woods, 28, started her final strongly but had difficulty at the final gate and lost momentum.

While Woods came over the line fourth, she nicked a bronze after Germany's Elena Lilik was disqualified for a fault earlier in the race.

Attention quickly moved on to 31-year-old Clarke, who was aiming for Olympic redemption after being overlooked for the Tokyo 2020 team.

Clarke started slower than his previous races and was unable to make up the gap on New Zealand's Finn Butcher.
