Looks like a pretty physically taxing gate set. A lot of going back and forth across the current.

 causally just missed three gates there. The hosts can sometimes get away with things, but creating your own course outside the set gates probably isn’t one of them

 gets another bronze in canoe slalom. Castro Fernandes in tears on the side of the course. What a great competition for them!

This only proves again what I am saying for years...

 

Natural venue in canoe Slalom works well and maybe even better than luxurious artificial extremely expensive tracks and venues. Really no need of them, Olympic organizers would reduced costs by millions and millions, but obviously this is not the way IOC want to go...

 

Last time we had Natural track was the Lake Ocoee in Atlanta 1996 and it is considered as still the best Canoe Slalom Olympics competitions ever
