Great Britain's Jack Eyers on the podium with the silver medal after the Men's Va'a Single 200m - VL3 Final at the Vaires-sur-Marne Stadium on day eleven of the Paris 2024 Summer Paralympic Games, September 8, 2024

FORMER Mr England Jack Eyers continued his journey from catwalk to canoe by clinching silver on his Paralympic debut in Paris today.

The 35-year-old amputee caught the eye in a time of 47.87 seconds in the men’s VL3 va’a but was denied the title by Ukraine’s Vladyslav Yepifanov.

Charlotte Henshaw and Emma Wiggs earlier delivered a British one-two with gold and silver in the women’s KL2 kayak before Laura Sugar retained the women’s KL3 title.
