On social media today (Tuesday), Kimberley said: "But to come away with two bronze medals... no-one has ever done that before, especially in Britain, so I am really proud of myself.

“We left it all out there in the Kayak Cross and I can be super proud knowing I have zero regrets and gave it my all.”

Rugby Mayor Simon Ward paid tribute to the kayak ace.

He said: “Rugby’s Kimberley Woods - Canoe Slalom Athlete you absolute superstar.
