Well at first you have to keep in mind that the course will be changed for the semis and finals. This course in heats wasn´t specially hard, but I assume for the finals we will have much more difficult one.

at second also keep in mind many athletes from top nations didn´t raced at full gaz untill the end, I saw many of them stoped paddling some meters to go as the qualifiying criterias were too easy if you ask me, for example from 12 boats in C2 only 1 were eliminated and 11 advanced lol ...

 

But also the fact is that De Gennaro yesterday and especially Stefania Horn today really  performed a nearly perfect race. They look very well prepared physically. Stefania was very strong in her race. each her paddle looked so easy

 

and Italy is just incredible during those days so I´ll not be surprised at all if you will medal

Thanks a lot and good luck for all Slovakian athlete

for me he showed the best shape out of all contenders in the heats and todays smifinal. Certainly he is right now the top fav for gold.

This is just one run right?

That looked good from Benus apart from one thing that seemed to have cost some time

Benus

 

I can't imagine how much pressure is on him (Slovakia never failed to win a medal in this event).
