Paracanoe will also be represented at the Munich 2022 European Championships at the Olympic Regatta Course in Oberschleißheim just North of Munich. Nine reigning World Champions, some of them also the defending European Champions will fight for another success.

Over the four competition days at the Munich 2022 European Championships twelve sets of medals will be awarded to the best in paracanoe. The competition will be fierce with eight 2021 Paracanoe European Champions on the startline and nine reigning World Champions, who got their gold medals just ten days ago at World Championships in Canada.

Great Britain will undoubtedly be the first favourite to top the medals table in paracanoe at the end of the European Championships in Munich. They concluded the recent World Championships with a total of ten medals, five of them gold, four silver and a bronze. All British World Champions are in Munich: Charlotte Henshaw who was crowned World Champion in two events in Canada, Emma Wiggs, Laura Sugar and Jack Eyers.

The biggest Hungarian hope is 19-year-old Peter Kiss, the reigning World and European Champion in KL1. The youngster has an impeccable medal record - only gold medals at Olympic Games, World and European Championships. He was the 2020 Tokyo Paralympic Champion, World Champion in 2019, 2021 and 2022 and European Champion in 2019 and 2021. The races in 2020 were cancelled due to Covid-19.

Germany will be represented by their standard paracanoe team, including the winners from previous European Championships and this year's World Championships Lillemor Koeper, Felicia Laberer and Anja Adler, as well as Edina Mueller, the Tokyo 2020 gold medallist and 2016 silver medallist.

Another strong paracanoe athletes come from Ukraine, and Mykola Syniuk and Maryna Mazhoula are undoubtedly the first favourites for the European Champion titles in their respective events. Both are 2021 European and 2022 World Champions.

Portugal's Norberto Mourao and Ireland's Patrick O'Leary, the 2021 European Champions, are also in Germany and will try to repeat the success from European Championships in Poznan, and Juan Valle from Spain, who was recently crowned World Champion, will surely try to win the European crown as well.
