Weger duo at the start in the World Cup

The canoe season is slowly entering its final phase for the SC Meran Torggler athletes. However, there are still three important competitions ahead: the World Cup in Tacen near Laibach (Slovenia), the World Cup final in La Seu D'Urgell (Spain) on the border with Andorra and the Canoe Slalom World Championships in Rio De Janeiro (Brazil). .

The competitors have been training since Monday at the gates of the Slovenian capital Ljubljana. However, the two South Tyrolean athletes will only start the competition in the kayak single sculls on Friday. Matthias Weger (22) is taking part in the Canoe Slalom World Cup in Tacen for the third time this season, Jakob Weger (3) for the first time.

Important race with a view to the World Championships for Jakob Weger For the younger of the brothers, it is also about qualifying for the Canoe Slalom World Championships in Rio de Janeiro at the end of September. He has to finish in the top 15 to get his World Cup ticket. But it could also be that the U23 world champion will be nominated for the World Cup by the Italian Canoe Association.

Matthias Weger, who competes for the Austrian Canoe Association, has already qualified for the World Cup. He will not only be competing in Laibach, but also at the World Cup finals in Spain, in contrast to Jakob Weger, who is only taking part in Slovenia. Illness slowed Matthias Weger down The older of the two has now recovered somewhat from his illness, Pfeiffer's glandular fever. “I will try to get in shape at the last World Cups after the long break in training for the World Cup in Rio due to health reasons,” says Matthias Weger.
