Canoe slalom world No.1 David Florence will hope to continue his fine form in the C1 class when he takes to the Lee Valley white water course later. David Florence is aiming to go one better than in Beijing (Picture: Getty Images) The 29-year-old from Aberdeen, who came second in Beijing in 2008, is one of GB?s biggest hopes after winning two gold medals at the World Cup meetings in Cardiff earlier this year. Florence starts last in both his heats and will be looking at Frenchman Tony Estanguet and Slovakian Michal Martikan, who won the event four years ago, as his main rivals for gold. ?Training has been going really well,? Florence said last week. ?When it gets close to a race we look to ease down our training load, so that?s always a bit more enjoyable. ?We?ve trained here since January last year and it?s fantastic. If you could choose anywhere in the world to train it would be here. ?When the stadium is full on race day it?s going to be a very impressive venue. I don?t quite know what the noise will be like but I hope it will be pretty rowdy. ?I?m just looking forward to getting the racing underway and enjoying myself, it?s going to be something that I will remember and cherish for the rest of my life.? Canoe slalom heats at Lee Valley White Water Centre get underway at 1:30pm this afternoon.
