Canoe sprint: Germany win men’s kayak double 500m gold!
This event is back on the Olympic programme for the first time since Beijing 2008, and it’s the German pair of Jacob Schopf/Max Lemke who win gold just ahead of Bence Nadas/Sandor Totka of Hungary.
The world champions led from the start but were challenged by the Hungarian pair throughout the race. Ultimately, though, the Germans had enough left in the tank and the pair add another gold to the one they won in the men’s four competition earlier this week.
🥇Germany: 1:26.87
🥈Hungary: 1:27.15
🥉Australia: 1:27.29
