Day 4 - K1 Men Prelims
Here are the pics from the Prelims:
Unfortunately I messed up my 2 runs...
I´m slightly disappointed, especially because I had some pretty good runs in the last official Training on Sunday.
But it was a lot of fun and a huge experience in any case!
And the next Worldchampionships will come for sure! Maybe even Olympics... who knows?
So over all I made 65th place.
My teammate Marcel unfortunately finished in 24th place - 400 points short of the cutoff to get into the quarterfinals. 1500 points is an extremely high cutoff - so the level is prettty high this year! Dane Jackson, who is the current leader, has 2700 points!!!
I´m excited to see how high the scores will go in the Semi and Finals!!!

Prelims K1 Junior Men and OC1
The Juniors really showed where kayak freestyle is heading: especially Hunter Kataich from the USA and Max Karlsson from Sweden had amazing runs! I think with those scores the also would do great in the K1 Men Seniors competition!!!

Opening Ceremonies
And now the Worldchampionships are officially opened!!
There was a parade with a parade band in Bryson City and Cherokee Warriors shared some of their dances.
In the evening quite a few bands were playing at different locations throughout Bryson City - unfortunately the shuttles left at 10pm already...
Still it was a nice ceremony!
