The local heroes clearly set the tone on the Passer

Matthias Weger (20) from Schenna, who is competing for Austria, was the second South Tyrolean canoeist to win the international canoe slalom in Meran five years after Lukas Mayr (SC Meran) in the men's kayak single sculls. He won with the best time of the day of 93,74 seconds (0 penalty seconds) ahead of Christian De Dionigi (Milan/95,62/0) and Marco Vianello (Valstagna/96,79/0). Michael Luther (99,54/0) from SC Meran came in an excellent fifth place. Club colleague Markus Hübner (104,46/4) took 10th place. “Today went great for me. I am very satisfied with my performance. I had two good, error-free runs. It was a good test with a view to my World Cup appearances in the coming weeks,” said Matthias Weger, happy about his first victory in the men’s kayak single on the Passer. His brother Jakob Weger was even more successful than Matthias Weger today. The 17-year-old SCM paddler won the international U18 kayak single sculls race with the best running time of the day of 92,70 seconds. Two penalty seconds were added to his running time, resulting in 94,70 seconds. The Slovenian Jakob Jez (100,46/4) and the Swiss Dimitri Marx (100,62/4) took second and third place. Valentin Luther (101,68/0), Jakob Luther (102,87/2) and Martin Unterthurner (102,95/4) from SC Meran took fourth to sixth place. Jakob Weger (94,70) also won the first qualification for the U18 World Championships in mid-July in Krakow (Poland) and the U18 European Championships at the end of August in Neugörz (Slovenia) ahead of his club colleagues Valentin Luther, Jakob Luther and Martin Unterthurner. In addition, Jakob Weger was crowned U96,79 Italian champion in the kayak single sculls ahead of Marco Vianello (Valstagna/0/99,54) and Michael Luther (SC Meran/0/23). In the kayak single team run, Jakob Weger, Michael Luther and Martin Unterthurner won gold in the U23 with 111,09 seconds (2 penalty seconds) ahead of Bologna (139,93/10) and Valstagna (141,82/12). “I can only be satisfied with my performance today. I won everything there was to win today. It is important that my running times are very fast. “I’m well on the way to being able to achieve absolute top results again, especially if I manage a run without penalty seconds,” said Jakob Weger, happy about his successes today.
