EMILY LEWIS AND Hayleigh Mason got more watersports than they bargained for during the 200m K2 sprint at the European Games this morning.

Although the British pair were cruising to a last place finish in this heat, they would have done enough to claim a semi-final berth if they just managed to stay in the boat.

They did not manage to stay in the boat and the time achieved by their kayak was changed to a DNF before they were delivered back to dry land.

Turn the sound up on the video above for some glorious stiff-upper-lip commentary.
