The 2021 ECA Canoe Marathon European
Championships in Moscow is in a full swing. The second competition day brought
U23 women’s kayak event and U23 men’s kayak and canoe events. Portuguese team
won two medals today.
It was a hot day on the Krylatskoye
course and the Portuguese paddlers were on fire. Sergio Maciel, multiple
European Championships medallist already from the junior category, took the win
in men’s U23 canoe event. It took him one hour 51 minutes and 11 seconds to
complete the 22.6 kilometres long course in the Russian capital city. Maciel
was a minute and 38 seconds faster than Daniel Laczo from Hungary on second
place. Bronze medal, too, went to Hungary thanks to Mate Zsidai.
Portuguese anthem played in honour of
Adriano Conceicao. 22-year-old Portuguese was the fastest in men’s U23 kayak
event on a 26.2 kilometres long course. Hungarian representative Zoltan Zoboki
was second and Czech paddler Dan Sedlacek third. In the last edition of the ECA
Canoe Marathon European Championships Mads Pedersen from Denmark took the win in
this event (also later at World Championships),but Denmark decided not to
participate this year.
Dorina Fekete took over the crown of
the European Champion in women’s U23 kayak event from her Hungarian compatriot
Lili Katona, who was the fastest in 2019 at the European Championships in
Decize. It was a very tight fight for a gold medal between two Hungarians and
at the end Fekete found more power than Csilla Rugasi who won silver medal.
Marta Witkowska from Poland was third.
The men’s junior C2 event was not an
official European Championships event because not enough crews and countries
participated this time to fulfil the official event rule. Hungarians Gergely
Lugosi and Istvan Juhasz were the fastest on the 19 kilometres long course.
Romanian duo Adrian Stepan – Victor Stepan came in second, one minute and 40
seconds behind, while Andras Ugroczky – Bulcsu Ferencz from Hungary occupied
third place.
On Saturday the championships
continues with junior men’s K1 race and senior women’s C1 and K1 as well as
senior men’s C1 and K1 events.
