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.
