Balint Kopasz delighted the home crowd by claiming a surprise gold medal as finals began at the Canoe Sprint World Cup in Szeged.

The 20-year-old Hungarian, who failed to make the K1 1,000 metre final at Rio 2016, produced a stunning display to triumph in the event.

He produced a time of 3min 23.921sec to claim the victory, with Portugal’s Fernando Pimenta ending 0.9sec adrift to send as the runner-up.

Spain’s Roi Rodriguez completed the podium in 3:25.782, while his compatriot and Olympic champion Marcus Walz surprisingly ended in ninth.

“I am very happy that I could be stronger than the Olympic medallists,” said Kopasz.

“The weather was very bad but I felt strong today.”

A second Hungarian victory came through Virag Balla in the women’s C1 500m, with her time of 2:05:035 being the fastest ever recorded in the event.

Canada’s Katie Vincent and Ukraine’s Liudmyla Luzan completed the podium, ending in 2:06.950 and 2:08.504 respectively.

A third Hungarian gold was earned by Dóra Bodonyi, who ended the women’s K1 1000m in 3:50.250.

Australia’s Alyssa Bull finished second in 3:51.511, while Melanie Gebhardt of Germany secured bronze in 3:55.850.

Britain's Liam Heath continued his Olympic gold medal winning form with an impressive victory today at the Canoe Sprint World Cup in Szeged.

The 32-year-old needed all of his trademark explosive power to defeat arch-rival Maxime Beaumont of France in the K1 200 metres final.

Beaumont, the Olympic silver medallist behind Heath, got the better start only for the Briton to fight-back and cross first in 34.259sec on the Hungarian lake.

The Frenchman finished second, 0.054 behind, as Carlos Garrote of Spain placed third, in 34.536.

"I felt a bit of pressure coming here as Olympic champion, but the pressure comes more from myself really to get out there and justify some of the times I have been doing in training and all the work I have put in over the winter," Heath said afterwards.

"I was relieved to see the conditions had calmed down from yesterday which were a bit ‘rock and roll’ down the course.

"I felt strong and there is certainly more in the tank.

"I was able to push through that lactic phase at the end, which is what I usually do to control the race in my own head."
