Franklin, Woods and Miller finished in top spot in the C1 team competition ahead of Czech Republic and Slovenia respectively despite the trio competing together for the first time.

Miller came into the team as late replacement for the injured Sophie Ogilvie.

"We didn't actually have any time in the week to practice just because of how last minute me coming into the team was," Miller said.

"I definitely felt a bit of pressure - big shoes to fill with Sophie being the third boat usually. It was a really good run and I am happy with all of our performances."

Woods added: "It was just making sure we knew the water well, we knew how to paddle this course - we are all good on this course - so it worked well enough to get that gold medal."
