- Heath’s bronze in 200m kayak is fourth Olympic medal of career
- ‘Being defending champion was on my mind,’ admits Heath
As the defending champion this Olympic Games was a new experience for Great Britain’s Liam Heath. The outcome was also different, but given his sluggish start in the frantic sprint race he was happy with bronze in the men’s 200m kayak single.
“As much as you try and push it to the back of your mind, coming to an event as a defending champion is very much there in your mind. You try and just push it away and keep focus on what you want to achieve,” he said.
