David Florence bounced back from Tuesdays final flop to clinch his third Olympic silver medal and insisted the C2 success, alongside Richard Hounslow, was not tinged with disappointment at the gold that got away.Florence, who had finished last in the C1 final two days earlier, admitted a spell of relative solitude had shaped him for another shot at the title they had narrowly missed out on at London 2012, where they were pipped by compatriots Tim Baillie and Etienne Stott.This time it was the Slovakian Skantar cousins, Ladislav and Peter, who would deny them with a searing final run at the Whitewater Stadium in Deodoro, but only after Florence and Hounslow saw an advantage at the halfway stage of over one-and-a-half seconds washed away as they missed out on gold by 0.43 seconds.Florence, whose first silver medal was in the C1 in Beijing, insisted: Im not disappointed at all. It wasnt quite gold, but after the disappointment a couple of days ago for me, we just wanted to put together a really solid run and perform to the best of our ability.In a sport like this, when you spend all your time preparing and the slightest of mistakes costs you a medal, Im really pleased with the way we held that run together.The Skantars went drastically faster than I think anyone thought possible on the basis of the first runs. That can be a little bit scary when you are sat at the start and youve still got five minutes to wait for your run.Florence credited Hounslow, who had almost quit the sport to become an officer at Sandhurst after missing out on selection for the 2008 Beijing Games, for helping him forget his C1 disappointment to have another shot at an elusive Olympic gold.Hounslow said: You dont have to do much -- David is a professional. Sometimes you have just got to let him go off and start stewing on his own emotions. You slowly start building back in.Yesterday he picked up throughout the day. I could see it wasnt going to take much for him to be really up for a good performance. Controlled anger is almost a good thing. You are out there working hard and pushing hard, and thats what David is so good at.He is focused, he is so powerful and strong. I can just make sure we are controlled at the back and keep us going in the right direction. Top to bottom it was a good run -- maybe not perfect but that is the name of the game.The pairs silver followed the stunning gold medal win for Joe Clarke in the mens K1 on the same course on Wednesday. But Fiona Pennie could not make it three when she incurred four seconds worth of time penalties and trailed in sixth place in the womens C1 final behind winner Maialen Chourraut of Spain.

Western was last ranked first in the country in October 2011.McLaren have revealed the Honda-powered MP4-31 car they hope will propel the team back to the front of the F1 grid after their worst season in 30 years. Having reunited to headline-grabbing effect, the McLaren-Honda partnership proved to be one of the stories of the year but hopes of a competitive 2016 have been reignited amid talk of a huge horsepower boost from the engine suppliers.Eschewing the populist appeal of reverting to their classic red and white livery from their previous title-winning alliance with Honda, the MP4-31 has been presented with a dark, sombre livery. In keeping with their new cars circumspect appearance, the team have also declined to make any eye-catching predictions about their hopes for the new season. Im not about to make any over-optimistic predictions - Formula 1 is far too unpredictable for me to do that - but, from what Ive seen so far, the aero detailing on the car looks fantastic, said Jenson Button, one half of McLarens all-champion driver line-up with Fernando Alonso which team boss Ron Dennis hailed as the best driver line-up in the sport. But Dennis was noticeably more guarded on McLarens prospects in 2016 having only beaten Manor, who failed to score a point, in the 2015 Constructors Championship.As we embark on the second year of our renewed McLaren-Honda partnership, all of us remain united in our purpose, said the McLaren chief executive. That purpose is to develop our team towards our shared ambition: to win. Well make no predictions as to when those wins will come, but I can say without fear of contradiction that every member of our team has worked with truly rrelentless dedication over the past few months.dddddddddddd1 in 2016: Teams reveal their new cars The car will make its on-track debut at the Circuit de Catalunya in Barcelona on Monday at the first of two four-day pre-season tests.Testing this week in Barcelona has been described as a make-or-break trial for the MP4-31 by Alonso after Dennis admitted in November that it was possible the two-time world champion would take a sabbatical. Button will debut the car when testing starts on Monday with Alonso scheduled to take over on the second and final days of the test.The aero package shows fantastic attention to detail, said the Spaniard. The whole car is beautiful in fact - its particularly nicely packaged from an aerodynamic point of view as I say - and Im 100 per cent ready for the challenge ahead.
