On Sunday 15th September, former A-level student Richard Hounslow formed part of a duo with David Florence to beat Jaroslav Volf and Ondrej Stepanek of hosts the Czech Republic to win gold in the world canoe slalom.
They achieved the title with the tiny margin of 0.04 seconds in Sunday's C2. The duo were runners-up in the C2 event at London 2012 behind GB team-mates Tim Baillie and Etienne Stott.
Hounslow said "it was a very, very tricky course but we had a solid plan. It wasn't the fastest way of executing the course but it was what we felt was a safe, good risk to reward plan and it paid off for us in the end."
