ECA SPRINT AND PARACANOE EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP – SZEGED 2024
 
 
For the second time this season we moved to Szeged. This time for the Sprint and Paracanoe European Championship, a small yet exciting competition.
It was the last chance for the european athletes to test the engines before the Olympic and Paralympic Games. On the other side, the last big competition for many others not qualified for Paris.
 
It's never too much to emphatize how stunnig Fernando Pimenta's performances are. In Szeged, again, he was racing for the medal in every single Final: Gold in K1 5K, Silver K1 500 and Bronze in the Olympic event K1 1000.
 
But he was not the only one, Dorota Borowska also got 3 medals out of 3 Finals. With a truly impressive performance in the C1 200 she defended her European title from last year in Krakow.The icing on the cake would be the Silver in the C2 500 and the Bronze in the C2 200. All good news just before Paris.
 
Also, Emma Jorgensen put on a very strong performance in the K2 500 and left no room for doubts: after the Silver in Rio and two Bronzes in Tokyo, she will be in Paris searching for the Gold
 
Last but not least, congratulations to the Paracanoe European Champions: Juan Antonio Valle, Vladyslav Yepifanov, Nataliia Lahutenko, Araceli Menduiña, Mykola Syniuk, Maryna Mazhula and Norberto Mourão.
