Canoe slalom: Giovanni de Gennaro wins men’s K-1

Listen to that roar! Germany’s Noah Hegge drops out of the medal positions in the men’s K-1 slalom final and that means France’s Titouan Castryck is guaranteed at least bronze!

One man left to go, and it’s Rio 2016 champion Joe Clarke from Great Britain.

What can he produce over the 23 gates of the Vaires-sur-Marne Whitewater Nautical Stadium?

It’s looking good from the Briton! More than two-thirds of the course complete and no errors! 86.87 to get on the podium…

But no! He finishes in 89.82 despite a clean run and ends up fifth.

Giovanni de Gennaro of Italy wins gold on 88.22, with Castryck of France in silver medal position on 88.42. Spain’s Pau Echaniz wins bronze on 88.87.
