David Florence meets the media ahead of the European Championships
|
Nottingham's David Florence is aiming to become the first slalom canoeist to win two gold medals in separate events at the upcoming European Championships. The Olympic silver medallist will compete in the canoe single and double (with Richard Hounslow) at the National Water Sports Centre in Nottingham. Florence said: "The paddling C2 (double) is something new for me that I took up since the Olympic Games. "To get to do the first race on our own water is very exciting indeed."
