Spanish and German celebration at Canoe Polo Super Cup in China

Spanish and German celebration at Canoe Polo Super Cup in China 15.10.2024

On the final of the ICF Super Cup held in Chinese Hangzhou canoe polo medal events were on the programme. Spain celebrated the win in women’s part of the tournament, while the win in men’s tournament went to Germany.


Beatriz Carmona was the star of the show for the Spaniards as they beat Great Britain 3-2 in a tight final.   Carmona, who was their skipper, played a crucial role in all three of their goals in what was a heartstopping match.  She assisted twice and scored a penalty. “It was quite close. It started well but then they closed down on us with goals. But I think we managed it quite well. We're going to just sleep and rest before the World Championships,” Carmona said. In bronze medal match Germany won bronze after 3-2 win against New Zealand.
 
In men’s final Germany celebrated 4-0 win against Spain. Despite the big defeat Spanish team showed some excellent defending but could not completely stop Germans on their way to final win. “I think the match was quite fine. In the final, we always tried to keep possession of the ball to play our game. We also had a bit of luck but 4-0 is a great score. I think it's quite a good preparation for the World Championships,” Jonas Viera said. Great Britain recorded a high 6-0 win in a bronze medal match against New Zealand.
