Italy Manfredi Rizza took the silver with 35.080, and Great Britain Liam heath – the Rio 2016 gold medalist who crushed the quarter-finals yesterday (with a faster time of 33.985 seconds) – won his second bronze medal in the kayak with 35.202, after finishing third in the event of the K-2 200m in London 2012.
