Do you realize that SVK has 0 medals after todays events ? How I have to understand your comment, sarcastic or provocative ? :p but yeah, total flop today from our athletes, I really don´t know what was the reasons, surely they are still tired after the hard national trials and usually we are peaking for the main event of the season as the OG or this year the world champs in Rio in September..but to not be even on the medal board after 6 of the 10 events at the continental championship is really not a great sign and ad for our best sport :mad: Hopefully the guys in C1 will deliver tomorrow and rectify our reputation..

 

btw today was the very last day of the existence of the Men´s C2, a Big big sad day of sport ! The french crew Gauthier Klauss/Matthieu Peche have decided to ceremonially tear their boat

How many children do the Hochschorner twins have? I was counting on a Slovakian dynasty. :)

 

Being serious for a moment - the C2 at the London Olympics turned slalom canoeing in Great Britain for being a tiny sport to being an important event.

As far I know only Pavol has one. Not sure about Peter.. btw their sister Eva competed also in Canoeing at the start of her career, but later she became a member of our successful Rafting team

Kuhnle actually managed to take a medal after winning semifinal. That's so weird!

 

No medal for Slovakia again. :facepalm:

 

Total misery.

I have absolutely no explanations for about what happened this weekend. Total failures from everyone.:dunno:

 

But well, that´s sport, and a very unpredictable sport, once you win and once not..let see what will happen in the next competitions, this was the first season´s true competition after the long national trials and guys came here directly from hard training preparations camps, clearly far from their best peaks.

The World Cup will start in two weeks in Liptovský Mikuláš and hopefully we will notice only much better performances from there, plus the main goal of this year is still the world champs in Rio in September, so there still a lot of time for any catastrophic evaluations of the season...however, no doubts that our performance during this tournament was a total fiasco

Salty smiles on the podiums from our C1 guys after "winning" silver in the team event..

 

but SVK earned at least this one medal  at the European Championship...the reasons why only 1 and why the presented performances weren´t satisfying at all will be examined in the next days/weeks and by more erudite experts..

 

 

for now we can be happy by at least the continuing of the incredible Michal Martikán´s streak of winning medals from Major events (WCh, ECH and OG) every year since he became member of SVK A team in 1995 !!! :bowdown: So 24th year in arow the guy won a medal from European Championship, World Championship or Olympic Games.

 

His current CV from WCH, ECH and OG :

 

48 Medals ( 5x OG, 22x WCh, 21x ECh)

 

OG -  2x Gold, 2x Silver, 1x Bronze

WCH - 13x Gold, 3x Silver, 6x Bronze

ECH - 14x Gold, 5x Silver, 2x Bronze

 

Also the young Marko Mirgorodský earned his first careers Seniors medal, the 19 years old YOG silver medalist and former Junior and U23 world and European champion managed this year to beat Matej Beňuš in the National Trials to finally enter the national seniors team and finished very well in the individual final today missing a medal only by a small mistake and hit in the last parts of the track, but managed to win his first "big" medal in the team event this evening.
