Matthias Weger wins World Championship silver

The final event of the World Championships got very busy from 9 a.m. onwards. In the qualifying run, Weger reached 9th place and confidently made it into the round of 32 of the best 6. From the round of 2, the athletes started in batteries of four from a 250 meter high ramp, with the best 5 each advancing. A total of 2 downward gates and 4 upward gates had to be overcome on the XNUMX meter long route, with collisions usually occurring between the XNUMX boats.

Weger skillfully mastered the round of 2 and quarter-finals, where he took second place in each case. In the semi-finals, Schenner was on the starting ramp with the reigning world champion Dimitri Marx from Switzerland, the Swede Max Karlsson and the Croatian Ren Korpes. Again Weger managed to assert himself in second place and make it to the final.

This was followed by an interruption of around an hour due to a thunderstorm before the final run took place. In the final, the Slovenian Tine Kancler, the Russian Sergey Maimistov, Dimitri Marx and Weger faced each other. From start to finish there was a hard-fought neck-and-neck race between the 4 athletes. Shortly before the end, the Russian Mamistov was able to break away from Weger and took victory ahead of the South Tyrolean. Third place went to Kancler and 4th place went to Marx.

After winning the European Championship silver medal in the team run two weeks ago, Matthias now also brings home World Championship silver in the extreme individual competition.

Weger is happy about his medal.
