Joe Clarke wins Britain's second gold of Rio Olympics in canoe slalom final

British kayaker Joe Clarke has paddled his way to a gold medal in the men's final of the canoe slalom K1 at the Rio 2016 Olympics.After the agony of David Florence's last-placed finish on Tuesday, Clarke lit up a gloomy Whitewater Stadium with the race of his life.

Clarke, 23, not only won Britain's first Olympic medal in the men's K1 since Campbell Walsh at Athens 2004 but secured gold in a time of 88.53 seconds.

It is Britain's second gold medal, the first won by swimmer Adam Peaty.

Peaty won a spectacular gold in the 100m breaststroke at the Rio Olympics, setting a new world record and winning the first gold for Team GB in the 2016 Games.

Britain also took home two Bronze medals, with Tour de France winner Chris Froome has coming third for Team GB in the men's time trial.

Steven Scott also won the bronze medal in the Olympic shooting men's double trap.
