Rafting World Cup: South Tyrolean boat just misses the medal

The H2H World Cup title went to Brazil, the South Americans prevailed against the hosts from Japan. In the duel for third place, the British won the bronze medal, while Nepal had to settle for the thankless fourth place. The “Azzurri” were eliminated in the quarter-finals, but in the end the rafters from Vipiteno and Meran finished in 3th place behind the USA. In the boat “Italy” are Robert Schifferle from Vipiteno, Amadeus Schifferle, Martin Unterthurner, Patrick Agostini, Alexander Zanella and Damiano Casazza, as well as Thomas Waldner from Merano.

Japan secured the women's gold medal and the hosts beat the Netherlands in the final. The duel for third place went to the Czech Republic, ahead of New Zealand. The Italians with Caroline Louise Goodall from Meran ended up in 3th place.

Rejected in a sprint

The Brazilians also won the gold medal in the sprint, with a lead of just over a second over Japan. The bronze medal went to the rafters from Germany. Italy came in 13th behind Costa Rica. In the women's category, New Zealand could not be beaten; the Japanese won the silver medal, ahead of Great Britain. The “Azzurre” took 10th place again.
