The Weger brothers easily made it to the semi-finals

The successful canoe brothers from Schenna fulfilled their target in the qualification and easily qualified for the semi-final run, which, like the final run, is on the program on Sunday morning. Jakob took 1th place today in the first qualifying without any penalty seconds in 81,17 seconds and qualified for the semi-finals in the first run, as did his brother Matthias, who took 7th place without any penalty seconds in 1 seconds.

“I was able to get a good run down. In the last section of the route I slowed down considerably because I had completed the difficult sections well and didn't want to take any more risks," says Jakob Weger, describing his qualifications. Matthias, who is still affected by glandular fever, also made it to the semi-finals like his brother without any major problems. Because of his illness, Matthias Weger spends almost all of his time on the water and in bed in order to manage his strength. “I was able to prepare well for the qualification and put in a clean run. “Now I have a few days to recover as much as possible and then give it my all on Sunday to make it to the final run of the top ten,” says Mathias Weger.

Marcello Beda, Jakob Weger's teammate, won the qualification in 79,74 seconds without penalty seconds ahead of the Austrian Mario Leitner (80,14/0 penalty seconds) and the Spaniard David Llorente (80,51/2 penalty seconds). Tomorrow afternoon, Valentin (17) and Jakob Luther (17) will compete in the U18 kayak sculls. The two cousins from Meran want to capitalize on their good form and qualify for the semi-final run, which, like the final run, will take place on Sunday afternoon.

Here are the results: Which Kayak single, U23, 1st run: 1. Marcello Beda (Italy) 79,74 seconds/0 penalty seconds; 2. Mario Leitner (Austria) 80,14/0; 3. David Llorente (Spain) 80,51/2; 7. Jakob Weger (Schenna) 81,17/0; 14. Matthias Weger (Schenna) 82,07/0; 2nd run: 3. Davide Ghisetti (Italy) 81,36/0; 4. Felix Oschmautz (Austria) 81,62/0.
