The last competition for me before going to the US was Cunovo. On the whitewater channel close to Bratislava there was a big sports-festival with a boatercross event on Saturday and a Kayak Freestyle Competition on Sunday. This beeing the playspot where Peter Csonka, World Cup Winner 2012, twice Vice Worldchampion trains, I had quite big expectations about that playspot. Which have been quite profoundly disappointed: the spot was shallow once again and pushing very hard to the right. Only after asking Peter to change the waterlevel a little bit, it got better. On Sunday the waterlevel was even higher - which changed the spot again - but only to the better!
In preliminaries we competed in session system - no classes, just 3 heats.
For the finals Peter had something special in mind: he would tell the 5 finalists which tricks to do and who could keep doing them correctly the longest would win! And Peter know´s exactly which moves those guys are not that comfortable with!
In the end Martin Koll took gold before Lukas Cervinka and Marcel Bloder!!!
Paddlers: Martin Koll, Lukas Cervinka, Marcel Bloder, Ondra Krivanek
