Ellen Field won her first European Championship title, whilst Stu Wood won a battling bronze at the canoe sprint and paracanoe European Championships in Szeged, Hungary.
Field burst out the buckets to put in a dominant display in the women's VL2 final, getting ahead of the chasing pack.
She had to dig deep in the final moments to fend off any challengers, but her time of 1:04.283 won Field the European title and her first gold medal since joining the sport two years ago.
On her European gold, Field said:
“It feels amazing to become European Champion. It just confirms all the work we've put in during training over the last year. I'm over the moon.
“I was excited to race as I love canoeing, but also felt those nerves on the start-line.
“I was completely surprised when I found out I'd won. Sometimes you just zone into what you have to do. I was focussed and had made a few mistakes so I had no idea I'd come first.
“My teammate Stu Wood told me and I was so happy.
“It's definitely fueled the hunger to race more internationally as I just love it.”
Tokyo 2020 bronze medallist Stu Wood won his bronze medal as he contested a thrilling men's VL3 final to kick off a third day of racing in Hungary.
Wood went head to head with five athletes all going for the medals, after getting off to a great start and well within the mix.
Too close to call on the finish line, there was less than a second between second and sixth, with the Brit's time of 51.622 securing him an excellent third place and a bronze.
He said:
“It feels really good to win bronze. It's been a tough week so it's been great to come out to Szeged and find some success.
“It's always a tight race in the men's VL3 where you don't know where you've come. I just had to look over to the scoreboard and wait to see what the final result was. It was great to see my name in third.
“Fantastic for Ellen to win. She didn't know how she'd done over the line. She's paddled great today as the whole team has. There's been lots of PB's which is fantastic to see for the British team.”
In the canoe sprint, Deborah Kerr (Anker Valley) rounded her competition off with a photo-finishing in the women's K1 500m B Final.
The Tokyo Olympian was in the top three heading to the final 100m. With French athlete Manon Hostens taking the top spot, Kerr crossed the line in 2:00.109, an identical time with Italian Agata Fantini meaning the pair unusually both occupy second place.
James Russell (Nottingham) and Trevor Thomson (Ealing) concluded the British action for the day with a fourth place finish in the men's K2 500m B Final.
Their time of 1:38.556 was also identical to the Finnish crew, meaning they both placed fourth.
