Liam Heath justified his favourite's status by taking gold in the men's canoeing sprint kayak single 200-metre final at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro on Saturday. The Team GB man produced a typically late sprint to power over the line ahead of the rest of the field.
German pair Sebastian Brendel and Jan Vandrey were just as dominant in the men's double 1000-metre final. Like Heath, Brendel and Vandrey relied on leaving it late to see off rivals and claim gold.
Hungary were also big winners on the day as the nation retained its Olympic title in the women's K4 500-metre final.
