Adam Burgess of Great Britain has won the silver medal in the men’s canoe singles final at the Vaires-Sur-Marne Nautical Stadium. Clocking a time of 96.84 seconds, Burgess put on an impressive performance to secure his first Olympic medal. The gold was taken by France’s Nicolas Gestin, with Slovakia’s Matej Benus coming in third.
Burgess narrowly missed out on a medal at the Tokyo Games and finished fifth at the World Championships last year. Since then, he has incorporated yoga and breathwork into his training routine as part of ‘Project Send It’.
With this silver medal, Burgess has added to GB’s medal tally, following Kimberley Woods’ bronze in the kayak single (K1) event. Congratulations to Burgess on this well-deserved achievement!
