Weger missed the K1 final run in Laibach

The wrong tactics were decisive for his early elimination in the semi-finals. Schenner drove the semi-final run far too easily. At the first intermediate time he was already 1 seconds behind the leading Slovenian Ulan Valant. Then another 3,56 penalty seconds were added for a touch on the upward goal number 2 and the gap grew to 13 seconds. In the end, Jakob Weger ended up in 5,38st place in 89,95 seconds, 6,23 seconds behind, and was eliminated early. The first 10 of the semi-finals qualified for the finals. The fastest in the semi-final run was the Slovenian Ulan Valant in 83,62 seconds ahead of the French Malo Quemeneur (83,75), the Czech Jakub Krejci (83,77) and the German Noah Hegge (84,44), all 4 without penalty seconds. In the final run, the Czech Jakub Krejci (81) was crowned the superior world champion in the supreme discipline, the kayak single sculls. Silver and bronze went to Great Britain's Jonny Dickson (84,25) and Christopher Bowers (84,55). Tirler without a top result For the second South Tyrolean participant in the U2 and U23 Canoe Slalom World Championships in Laibach, Paul Tirler from Meran, the K18 qualification was the last stop on Thursday. After placing 1th in the 34st qualifying run, the SCM paddler missed the upward gate number 1 in the 2nd qualifying run and only ended up in 16th place. “In the 55st qualifying run I only made the semi-finals because of a touch on gate number 1 lost. I finished 9th. The first 34 qualified for the semi-finals. In the second run I was a bit unconcentrated and missed the upward gate number 30, for which I received a 2-second penalty,” Tirler regrets. The young SCM paddler achieved 1th place in the K18 team race and 11th place in the K1 individual race in his first major canoe slalom event in the U55 kayak sculls. “Despite the by no means good results on my World Cup debut, it was a formative experience for me and I’m already looking forward to the next competitions,” he said.
