The European Canoe Slalom Championships in Tacen, Slovenia they enter the last two days of competition. We start with the women’s kayaking, which brings no joy to Italy who sees Stefanie Horn immediately lose her hopes of a medal.
The only blue representative was the last on the list of the thirty-eight registered athletes, thus knowing the time limit she would have to record to enter the magnificent twelve. But on the other hand, he only had one chance, given the cancellation of the semi-finals: only one attempt to exploit, which increases the load of tension and adrenaline.
In a path with very choppy waters, Stefanie is probably appeared too timid, with the fear of making a mistake and recording a very slow first half. The penalties at gates 11 and 17 then did the rest, thus making her record the twentieth time which eliminates her from the medal fight. A time that even worsens after the jury’s review, which judges door 7 to have been missed: 161.20 total and thirty-first time.
The best of the lot is the Czech one Antonie Galuskova, the only one to finish under the 100 second mark in 97.56, almost five seconds ahead of Slovakia’s Zuzana Pankova. Inside Mallorie Franklin, Klaudia Zwolinska, Eliska Mintalova, Eva Tercelj and Tereza Fiserova who will take on the role of the favourites, Camille Prigent remains outside.
