Scots Campbell Walsh and David Florence have started the final countdown to the Olympics after last weekend's World Cup race in Prague.

Both paddlers are in Beijing training on the Olympic course and Walsh has taken delivery of a new boat as he seeks to improve on his silver medal in Athens.

Florence has declared himself happy with his form after picking up a bronze medal in the canoe slalom in Prague.

"I was delighted with a medal and happy with the way I'm paddling now," Florence, "Prague will be the only World Cup I am attending this year as it's now off to Beijing for some training on the Olympic course."
