It was a strange championship, held too late, the season was really long this year and it was visible, many athletes were too much tired, but all favorites more or less showed their presence. From   view it wasn´t a bad WCh, 3 medals in olympic events + silver in now a non-olympic C2 are definitely a very positive result, the bad thing is No gold in individual events this time, but 3 silvers and 1 bronze are still very fine, especially Michal Martikán winning a individual bronze was my highlight, Now he surely get a new huge boost for working until Tokyo 2020. Our M C1 looks very very well, with Slafkovský, Beňuš, Martikán and the super talented junior Mirgorodský. which was once again proved in the M C1 team event and with the fantastic way how they won another sovereign gold for our team.

Also very happy with the Jana Dukátová silver in W K1, finally a fully deserved medal for her, still remember her tears after the unlucky 4th. place in Rio last year

 

Huge disappointment in other side in the womens C and absolute nightmare in the M K1, with No finals in these events, looks like we have a lot of work to do in these events in the next months
