First strike !

 

Not fair, I'm like one of probably 5 people in the country thinking of watching a live stream of a World Cup in this sport! Cancel the strike now!

I´m pretty sure there a higher interest than 5 peoples, there clearly some good potential in the NED team especially in the womens category, you just need bigger medias promo certainly this sport will find many new fans

I'll definitely write something about Wegman, that should make for a couple hundred readers

Has there ever been a Dutch athlete on a World Cup podium in this sport? I'm not sure but I doubt it

Not sure, must check it, but NED won 2 medals at world championships, Silver in 2003 Mens K1 Team and Bronze in 1973 mixed C2.

Yes, Floris Braat won a World Cup race in 2000 (in La Seu D'Urgell, ESP)

He also won a World Championship Silver medal in the Team Event (with 2 teammates, of course) in 2003

Ah yeah, our legendary 1973 bronze mixed C2 team, how could I forget.

Disappointing shape of Jana Dukátová this season so far..after her 4th place personal disaster in Rio she clearly is still not fully recovered

Very nice final, Tasiadis with a fantastic final run.

2 Slovaks on podium Slafkovský 2nd, Beňuš 3rd + Martikán 5th
