The 2021 ECA Canoe Marathon European Championships in Moscow concluded with doubles events in the Krylatskoe Olympic regatta centre. French duo Quentin Urban and Jeremy Candy defended their title from 2019 in men’s K2 event.
The very well organised European
Championships in Moscow brought joy to the teams of France, Hungary, Portugal
and Poland who celebrated medals on the last competition day.
In the last race of the championships
French duo Quentin Urban and Jeremy Candy once again showed power to claim the
European Champion title on a 29.8 kilometres long course. Frenchmen managed to
defend the European Champion title they won in a previous edition of the
European Championships which was held in 2019 in Decize. This time they were a
little over half a minute faster than their toughest opponents Jose Ramalho and
Ricardo Carvalho from Portugal. This was third medal at this European
Championships for Ramalho after two golds in men’s K1 and in short marathon.
Adrian Boros and Krisztian Mathe from Hungary were third.
Hungary picked up gold medal in men’s
C2 event thanks to Marton Kover and Marton Horvath, who were two minutes faster
than all the other crews. Rui Lacerda and Ricardo Coelho from Portugal were
second, while bronze medal went to Poland with Mateusz Borgiel and Mateusz
Zuchora. Borgiel and Zuchora were the defending champions from 2019.
The other two races that were held
today were unfortunately not official events, because not enough countries
participated in event to fulfil the requirements of being official race. In
women’s K2 race legendary Renata Csay and Zsofia Czellai produced the best time
and claimed the win at a 26.2 kilometres long course. Csay and Czellai are the
defending European champions but will have to wait another year to officially
defend their title.Amelie Kessler and Yseline Huet from France were second in
this event, while Rebeka Szmrtyka and Panna Sinko from Hungary finished third.
Another unofficial event was junior
K2 race where Bruno Kolozsvari and Oliver Mitring from Hungary crossed the
finish line ahead of Portuguese K2 Francisco Santos – Fernando Costa and
Hungarians Oliver Varga – Szilveszter Bolehradsky.
