Hope Gordon and Charlotte Henshaw won two medals apiece as Great Britain finished third in the medal table at the Canoe Sprint World Championships.

Henshaw, 38, had won the women's VL3 gold at four of the past five editions, with Gordon winning it in 2023.

And this time 30-year-old Scot, who also represented GB in cross-country skiing at the 2022 Winter Paralympics, got the better of her rival by two-and-a-half seconds for her second world title.

Three-time Paralympic champion Henshaw did win her 11th world gold though, continuing her dominance of the KL2 event with a seventh straight title.

Gordon also won a bronze medal at the event in Milan finishing third as her Welsh team-mate and Paralympic champion Laura Sugar triumphed in the KL3 event.

GB claimed a total of four golds in Italy, along with one silver and four bronze.

The other gold was won by David Phillipson in the men's KL2 event, claiming his first international event after taking world and Paralympic silver in 2024.

Ed Clifton won bronze in the men's VL2 final, as did Emily Lewis (women K1) and Jeanette Chippington (women's VL2) in their respective events.
