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.
