Joe Clarke opens season with two medals at Canoe Slalom World Cup in Augsburg
Joe Clarke made a flying start to the canoe slalom season with K1 silver and kayak cross bronze at the World Cup in Augsburg, Germany. In his first international race since becoming a father and working under coach Campbell Walsh — silver medallist himself at Athens 2004 — Clarke put in a pair of statement performances. Ad Having topped K1 qualifying, he clipped a late upstream gate in the final but his time of 90.71 seconds was only beaten by Italy's Giovanni De Gennaro.
