The last time Joe Clarke won Olympic gold, he ended up at a house party in former Brazil striker Ronaldo’s Rio de Janeiro home. Now he is hoping another golden moment can lead to a similar celebration with Kylian Mbappe.
Clarke was just 23 when he burst on to the scene by winning canoe slalom gold for what was his first international title of any kind. It sparked 11 days of celebrations in Brazil, capped off by an unlikely run-in with the former footballer at a rooftop bar.
