Great Britain’s Adam Burgess claimed a first C1 World Cup silver since 2019 after a “pretty special” run in the heats.

The 32-year-old saw off competition from Olympic champion Nicolas Gestin to finish in second, behind Slovenia’s Luka Bozic.

Burgess produced a stunning run during the heats in north-east Spain to move to the top of the standings.

The Stoke-born paddler was last to compete in the finals, but produced a penalty-free run to the start the season in emphatic fashion.

Burgess won Olympic silver in the individual canoe at the Paris Games, having agonisingly missed out on a medal by 0.16 seconds in Tokyo in 2020.

“I’m always there or thereabouts, and we have done a lot of work to try and bring out those runs in the final, and I guess today, my worst run was the final, but that heat was something pretty special,” said Burgess.

“It was great to come close to it again there.”
