Team GB's Tim Baillie and Etienne Stott win gold in the men's canoe double (C2).

Team GB's Tim Baillie and Etienne Stott have won gold in the men's canoe double (C2).

They headed a GB one-two as David Florence and Richard Hounslow produced a terrific run to earn silver.

Stott and Baillie were up first in the final and they recorded a score of 106.41 for the rest of the finalists to beat.

Slovakian brothers Pavol and Peter Hochschorner just missed out on toppling the British pair, which meant that Team GB were guaranteed a silver medal going into the final run.

Florence and Hounslow started their effort superbly and were ahead of Baillie and Scott at the halfway stage but they couldn't hang on to that lead to hand their teammates the gold.
