Canoe Sprint superpowers successful on the opening day of European Championships in Bratislava


 

On the opening day of the 2024 ECA Junior and U23 Canoe Sprint European Championships in Bratislava - Zemnik, where competes more than 500 athletes from 36 European countries, we saw the 1000 and 500 metres heats.

Young athletes from across Europe showed their form in the 1000 and 500 metres heats which were on the programme of the first day of the European Championships held on a Zemnik venue, on the outskirts of Bratislava, Slovakia, a venue which hosts the international canoeing event of such importance for the first time in history. So far, here were held international regattas and Olympic Hopes competitions, but not Championships.

Traditionally strong national teams did not disappoint on the first competition day. Young Hungarians qualified directly for the A finals in majority of Thursday’s events, mostly by winning the heats' groups, so they will wait for the finals in roles of the main favourites.

Among the nations that have managed to qualify at least one boat directly to the final from the heats are Switzerland, Slovakia, Ukraine, Romania, Lithuania, Slovenia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Moldova, France, Great Britain, Estonia, Turkiye and Belgium.

On Friday, the 2024 ECA Junior and U23 Canoe Sprint European Championships continues with 1000 and 500 meters semifinals and 200 metres heats.
