Wow, what a shocker!

Italy gold, Echaniz from the bottom takes bronze. 

Second event in a row the paddler placed 12th the semifinal won a bronze medal.

This was complete bullshit, what they have done to legend Peter Kauzer. 

 

They are ruining this sport. 🤮

I've seen one cross elimination run. My Atari games seemed more serious. Is the world ending, shall i buy some rice and water? 😉😉. What the (d)uck is this? Im staying with Jethro Tull and Camel even stronger now🙂. The only thing similar i have ever seen was the idiot games by Monty Python.

IMO Kayak Cross is, by far, the most boring snowboard-cross inspired event.

I'm enjoying watching it. Whether it should be an Olympic event is a different matter. Looking forward to seeing the top paddlers against each other later in the event.

In the words of one @hckošice   

 

"Why not add another event for Jessica Fox to compete... If Jessica Fox can win medals in it, then it surely will be an Olympic event. I won't be surprised if they add slalom canoeing boxing, where you run the course and hit targets with the paddle along the way. We need more events, so Jessica Fox can be in the full 2 weeks program. "

Their false start rule is...interesting.

I would prefer to see 2 competitors from one country in classical slalom disciplines than this new kayak cross stuff.

But at least it is a last chance for how to avoid the first games in 30 years without a medal.
