German slalom canoeists on the Passer cannot be beaten

In the second race of the 2th international canoe slalom on the Passer in Meran, the slalom canoeists from Germany were able to continue their winning streak today. With Tim Maxeiner in the men's kayak one, Anna Faber in the women's kayak one and Zoe Jakob in the women's canoe one, they won three of the four boat classes. In the men's canoe sculls, the Slovenian Luca Bozic celebrated the second day's victory at the 65th International Canoe Slalom on the Passer, as did the German Anna Faber in the women's kayak sculls. The local heroes, the brothers Weger Jakob (2) and Matthias Weger (65) from Schenna, had to be content with places 23 and 25 in the men's kayak singles today. 112 slalom canoeists from 7 countries took part in the 65th international canoe slalom in Meran without spectators. Despite the closure of the lower Gilf promenade, the canoe slalom could be watched from start to finish by up to 100 spectators on the Steinernen Steg and the upper winter promenade. Since only a few canoe slalom races are held due to the corona pandemic, the canoe slalom in Merano was more well attended than it has been for a long time at a canoe slalom on the Passer in Meran, especially in the supreme discipline, the kayak single sculls. Weger missed the podium despite good performances Jakob Weger really wanted to get on the podium at his home race. The 23-year-old Schenner didn't quite manage to do that in the second race either. In the semifinals, Jakob Weger was once again able to show his great class and clearly won the race with 2 seconds ahead of his teammate in the marine sports group, Zeno Ivaldi (77,44), and the Swiss Lukas Werro (79,09). decide. “I had an almost perfect run with almost no mistakes,” explained Jakob Weger. In the final run, South Tyrol's figurehead in the canoe slalom was unable to repeat this performance and, after finishing 5th on Saturday, had to settle for 7th place this time. On goal number 15 he received a 2-second penalty for a touch. “I had already made a small mistake on goal number 4 and then I couldn't get the run down properly. There were 2 or 3 larger errors in the lower part. Despite a good running time, I only ended up in 2th place with 7 penalty seconds,” Jakob Weger lamented. “I just don’t have the consistency yet. “I still have to work on that before the U23 World Championships in Tacen,” says Jakob Weger. As in yesterday's race, the Germans celebrated a double victory in the supreme discipline, the men's kayak single scull, this time with Tim Maxeiner and Noah Hegge. Matthias Weger had to settle for 15th place after a major mistake at gate number 10.
