Well the US probably won’t send anyone, we only have a decent slalom program

They are sending a team to the qualifiers so they should be able to qualify.

Samuel Baláž/Tibor Linka became today U23 European champions in K2-1000m

and 2 more Gold medals for Team SVK

 

The new U23  European Champions in K4-500 became the Slovakian crew Samuel Baláž, Milan Fraňa, Csaba Zalka and Tibor Linka

 

 

 

Also the young Lucia Valová became the Junior European Champion in C1-500m W

 

3 Medals, 3 Golds for SVK at this champs, well done !

[hckošice 14,843]

and 2 more silver medals for SVK in this last afternoon session.

 

Lucia Valová after her mornings gold in 500 gained silver in C1-200m W Juniors and the young Matúš Jedinák won the same medal in M Juniors K1-200m.

 

So 5 medals overall (3-2-0). Very good tournament for our colors, definitely there were not so huge expectations at all, personally I´m really happy especially with the K4-500

With how the canoe qualification system works for the 2019 Pan American Games, Belize should be able to qualify its first athlete to the games.

Well the first day only sees the K4 men and K4 women compete and with only 6 entries in each event, and 6 qualifying for Lima2019, all have qualified.

This will also mean that Belize and Jamaica will debut in Jamaica.

I made a quick count of entries and, according to qualification criteria, almost every athlete competing here is qualified for the Games.

Sadly, Peru didn't show, so they have lost the possibility to compete in their own games.
