Get it

 

Just now it´s not really funny, rather ridiculous and borring. Many nations even doesn´t look to be really interested and doesn´t field any athlete for example, but yeah, the day when it will be added to the olympics, these nations will quickly start to take it suddenly more seriously

 

I watched it actually, and I agree, it is boring to everyone that likes the classical slalom canoeing format...

 

Same as ski and snowboard cross. Overtaking after the start is next to impossible.

Thanks, this looks cool

Michal Martikán what a run !!! Another epic demonstration ! What a run !

looks like his words about his personal Mission Tokyo 2020 were not lying. Beňuš and Slafkovský should be really worried, once again, like during all their careers

 

and Jerguš Baďura achieved his first careers world cup final in Norwegian colors

I thought Martikan retired after not making it to Rio

Nope, something like 2 days after he said he will retire as a Olympic champion in Tokyo

Well, he might as well go to Paris/Los Angeles, or both.

haha, no, well, even Tokyo is not very realistic, I mean yes he is a huge icon and true legend and can win a race here and there but you can not stop the time, c´mon he is in top since Atlanta 1996 Tokyo is in 3 years, he´ll turn 40, and our youngs are very promising in this event specially Marko Mirgorodský (we are highly counting on him to take the relay after the Generation of Slafkovský and Beňuš)
