On the last weekend of July the european freestyle kayakers met for the second competition of this years Freestyle Eurocup.
Although this years flooding wasn´t to long ago, the organisation was perfect! Big thanks to Stepan Vohradsky and all his helpers - you did a really amazing job!
During the week we only had a few hours of training time due to the slalom-kayakers who will have thir Worldchampionship in Prague in a few weeks! But from friday afternoon on the channel was reserved only for freestyle kayakers! The playspot was quite tricky and rather shallow and with a very short eddy - even the pro´s had some trouble at the beginning. All in all it was a really nice competition - next time I´ll not stay on the same campground as the party takes place - those czech parties for 3 nights in row robbed me of my sleep! My result didn´t really come up to my expectations, but competition practice was very important for me!
In the end team Germany was the strongest team with winning the K1Junior Women and Junior Men categories! In the K1 Men category Peter Csonka took gold before Tomasz Czaplicki - so he seems to be back from his injury at the right time!!
Paddlers: Zosia Tula, Anne Hübner, Yannick Münchow, Marcel Bloder, Tomasz Czaplicki, Peter Csonka, Thomas Hinkel, Bartosz Czauderna
