One touch too many for a medal in Krakow

In the team competitions, the Burggräfler slalom canoeists were unable to fulfill their dream of winning a medal in Krakow today after Matthias Weger's silver medal at the U23 European Canoe Slalom Championships in Liptovsky Mikulas (Slovakia). Matthias Weger was closest to the medal again. As at the European Championships, the Austrian national team with Matthias Weger was very fast. 2 minimal touches on the goal by Weger and Felix Oschmautz caused Austria's medal dream to collapse.

“With one less touch on the goal we would have won bronze like last year at the World Cup in Ivrea”; Matthias Weger regretted. This time it only came in 5th place. His brother Jakob fared much worse. After an Eskimo roll from Davide Ghisetti between gates 5 and 6 and a 50-second penalty from Marco Vianello at gate 13, Schenner had to settle for 22nd place with Italy. In the U18, Italy with Jakob Luther from Meran came seventh despite a smooth run with 2 touches on goal. France won the U23 kayak single team race in 89,93 seconds, including 2 penalty seconds, ahead of Slovenia (90,72/2) and Spain (92,23/2). In the U18 kayak singles team race, Great Britain won overwhelmingly in 91,49 seconds without penalty seconds, ahead of the Czech Republic (94,25/0) and Germany (95,41/0. Italy won 2 gold medals in the canoe singles today -Team runs were given to the men from the U23 and the girls from the U18.

On Wednesday, Matthias and Jakob Weger will be in action in the U23 kayak single sculls at the World Championships in Krakow. The 30 best from the 1st qualifying run and the 10 best from the 2nd qualifying run reach the semi-final run, which, like the final run, is on the program on Saturday.
