The penultimate day of the 2021 ECA Canoe Marathon European Championships in Moscow, Russia, brought exciting senior individual races and men’s junior K1 event. Portuguese kayaker Jose Ramalho was the big winner of men’s K1 event.
38-year old Portuguese canoe marathon
paddler Jose Ramalho was in the spotlight of Saturday’s races at Krylatskoe
Olympic regatta course in Moscow. He did not only win his second title of this
European Championships (he was the best already in short marathon race), but
also wrote history by winning his seventh European Champion title in canoe
marathon. Men’s 29.8 kilometres long race was exciting until the very end. In the
finish of the race Ramalho found more strength and crossed the finish line only
one second ahead of French competitor Cyrille Carre. Bronze went to France
thanks to Stephane Boulanger, who was 2.11 seconds behind Ramalho. Adrian
Borosfrom Hungary was outside the podium on 4th place, and was only 2.43
seconds behind the new European Champion.
In women’s K1 race Vanda Kiszli
(Hungary) defended her European Champion title from 2019 and European
Championships in Decize. Kiszli, who is also defending World Champion in this
event, was 1.75 seconds faster than her teammate Zsofia Czellai, while Serbia’s
Kristina Bedec picked up bronze medal. The same three competitors were on the
podium of Thursday’s short race too, but it was Bedec who claimed the European
Champion title, Kiszli was second and Czellai third.
In absence of Spanish team and Manuel
Campos, the 2019 European and World Champion, Marton Kover quickly became the
favourite number one for the title in men’s C1 race. He predictions were true
as he did not have much trouble getting to the highest podium position. Kover
was more than four and a half minutes faster than Russian Roman Erlinekov on
second place, while Hungarian Daniel Laczo won bronze medal.
Hungary celebrated a win in women’s
canoe race as well. It took one hour and 24 minutes for Zsofia Kisban to finish
the 15.4 kilometres long course. Russian representative Maria Kazakova was
second, almost two minutes and 48 seconds behind, and Polish canoeist Adrianna
Antos won bronze medal.
The competition day started with
men’s junior K1 race. Hungarian youngsters Csanad Selleyei and Bruno Kolozsvari
were first and second respectively, while Portuguese Rodrigo Santos picked up
