Great Britain's kayak four denied 500m canoe sprit medal

Hungary win gold in the women's kayak four 500m sprint at Baku 2015, edging out Germany who had to settle for silver ahead of Poland.

Great Britain have missed out on the medals in the women's kayak four 500m canoe sprint competition at the European Games.

The team of Angela Hannah, Lani Belcher, Hayleigh Mason and Louisa Sawers, who successfully came through their qualification round yesterday afternoon, finished in eighth place in this morning's final.

Hungary came out on top at the Kur Sport and Rowing Centre, keeping hold of the lead they held at the halfway stage to see off the challenge of Germany who finished second.

Bronze was taken by Poland, who found themselves behind Romania in fourth place at the 250m mark, eventually crossing the line in 1:33.979 - more than a second slower than the race winners.

Hungary now have three medals at Baku 2015, placing them in ninth place overall.
