World-class performance from Jakob Weger in the Augsburg Ice Channel

Jakob Weger delivered a world-class performance at the Canoe Slalom World Cup in the legendary Augsburg Ice Channel on Friday morning. The 19-year-old SCM paddler took a sensational 4th place in the kayak single sculls qualification and had to bow to only three absolute top paddlers, the Czech Jiri Prskavec (94,11/93,28), in 0 seconds after a run without penalty seconds ), the Slovakian Jakub Grigar (93,94/0) and finally his long-term German rival at the European Junior Cup in 2015, Sebastian Schubert (93,96/0). Like a week ago at the canoe slalom World Cup opener in Prague, Jakob Weger managed a first qualifying run in Augsburg without any penalty seconds for touching the goal post. In Augsburg, Jakob Weger was much faster than in Prague. At that time he took 1st place in the qualification, this time 21th place.

His brother Matthias (21), who competes for Austria, missed gate number 1 in the first qualifying run, for which he received a 2-second penalty. He only finished in 50th place. In the second qualifying run, however, he didn't receive any penalty seconds and finished seventh, securing one of the remaining 69 semi-final places. The Austrian Marion Leitner in 2th and the Italian Giovanni De Gennaro in 10th also made it to the semi-finals.

The semi-final run will take place on Saturday, June 24, 2017, from 11.10:14 a.m., the final run on Saturday from 30:10 p.m. If Jakob Weger delivers a similar performance to Friday's qualifying, he could qualify for the final run of the best 27 kayak paddlers and get the ticket for the canoe slalom world championships in the highest performance class from September 1th to October XNUMXst in Pau (France). solve.
