Polish canoeists stood on the podium 18 times on the World Cup in Poznań on Sunday, 29 May. They reached the highest places on the podium. The championships were postponed due to Saturday’s weather problems so all final races were held on Sunday.
The World Cup competition has shown that canoeists have made progress during the winter preparations in Portugal. It is worth mentioning that two national teams have new coaches – Marek Ploch took over the canadians’ teams and Ryszard Hoppe the canoeists’ team.
The World Cup already shows more or less where we are. Of course, we must not grow feathers, but train diligently to come out on the international arena in the best possible way,” said the Polish canoeist Dominika Putto.
