Adam Burgess Wins Silver in Canoe Slalom

GB boxer Delicious Orie faced a heartbreaking exit from the Olympics after losing a close 3-2 split decision to Armenia's Davit Chaloyan in the men's 92kg round of 16. Meanwhile, canoe slalom star Adam Burgess achieved redemption by winning a silver medal at Paris 2024, three years after narrowly missing out on a podium finish in Tokyo. Burgess, who was deeply emotional about his performance, led with a strong final run of 96.84 seconds before France’s Nicolos Gestin claimed gold. Despite the loss, Burgess expressed immense pride in realizing a lifelong dream and credited his preparation, including yoga and breathwork, for his success. The British team enjoyed a strong showing overall, with multiple medals secured during the competition. The day was marked by both triumphs and disappointments for the UK athletes, highlighting the emotional highs and lows of Olympic sport.
