Great Britain's Joe Clarke captured his first World Cup gold medal of the season in kayak cross, winning the final in Germany on June 14, 2026. Clarke's victory was aided by a penalty incurred by compatriot Ben Haylett, who initially crossed the finish line ahead but was dropped to fourth. The win elevates Clarke to second place in the overall World Cup kayak cross standings, just behind Slovenian Ziga Lin Hocevar. Clarke expressed his desire for further success at the upcoming World Championships in Oklahoma. In addition, fellow Briton Adam Burgess secured a silver medal in the men's canoe slalom, narrowly missing gold.
