The week full of canoe slalom events in Prague starts on Monday

The ECA Canoe Slalom European Championships in Prague starts in a week (1-3 June) but the first events of the accompanying program are scheduled already on Monday 28th May. There will be the traditional Paddleride through the historical centre of Prague, Riverside Cross, opening ceremony in Hybernia Theatre and the welcome banquet in the residence of the City Mayor of Prague. The championships will see 207 boats from 27 countries.


The men´s kayak will be as usual the strongest event with 65 kayakers on the start line. Also 44 women kayakers are entered, so the K1 women are the second largest event. The C2 men should not be missing in Prague as there are 17 crews already on the start list. Attractive fights will also come in the team races.
 
Among women kayakers, Elena Kaliská who is this year’s Slovak selection winner will also start in Prague. She will compete at the age of 46 and the interesting fact is that Kaliská became the European champion already 20 years ago – also in the Czech Republic, Roudnice nad Labem. It is very symbolic and she is still in a good shape.
 
As far as the Czech team is concerned kayaker Jiří Prskavec will try to defend his bronze medal from Tacen 2017, as well as the C2 men crew Jonáš Kašpar - Marek Šindler. Silver or better – that is the target for the second placed from Tacen in women’s C1 Tereza Fišerová.
