Jakob Weger (20), on the other hand, can now concentrate entirely on the U23 Canoe Slalom World Championships in Krakow and the U23 European Championships in Liptovsky Mikulas (Slovakia). “Unfortunately, things didn’t go as I had imagined for me in qualifying for the European Canoe Slalom Championships in the general class. But I won the U23 Italian championship title and then everything wasn’t as bad for me,” said Jakob Weger. Giovanni De Gennaro, Zeno Ivaldi and Marcello Beda qualified for the European Championships in the kayak singles. Jakob Luther surprises everyone Jakob Luther, however, delivered a super performance in Ivrea. The SCM paddler, who is still competing in the U18 class, surprisingly won the bronze medal in the kayak single sculls at the U23 Italian Championships and was in impressive early form. He also won both qualifying races for the U18 World Cup and U18 European Championships in the U18. “I am very satisfied with my race weekend. “Hopefully I can get a ticket for the U18 European Championships and U18 World Championships at the penultimate qualifying race this weekend in Valstagna,” said Jakob Luther happily.

His cousin Valentin Luther didn't fare so well at the U23 Italian Championships and in the qualification for the U23 World Cup and U23 European Championships. He came tenth at the U23 Italian Championships. His club colleagues Jonas Walter and Paul Tirler, however, took places 16 and 20. The results of the U23 Italian Championship: Kayak one: 1.
