It just keeps getting better and better, first it was a bronze, the next day silver and bronze and on the final day of the European Championships, the GB team took gold and bronze.

The WK1 team of Sandra Hyslop, Jessica Oughton and Hannah Brown won gold in the sprint team event and the C2 team of Rob Wylie/Dean Hollis, Colin Cartwright/Dave Bradburn and Jamie Christie/Simon Wright took bronze. Many congratulations to them all.

This means a total of five medals from the European Championship - an awesome achievement.

Congratulations must also go to Alan Tordoff and his coaching team, and all the coaches who work behind the scenes in the UK. Without their dedication and expertise, these results would not happen, and the fact that over the last three years 14 different GB athletes have won medals at European or World Championships in testament to their skills. This number could rise as we still have the Junior World Championships iin July.
