Mednarodna kajakaška zveza je danes v Budimpešti Ljubljani zaupala organizacijo svetovnega pokala v slalomu na divjih vodah v sezoni 2025.
Izvršni odbor Mednarodne kajakaške zveze (ICF) ta konec tedna zaseda v Budimpešti, kjer so tudi odločali o organizatorjih največjih tekmovanj v prihajajočih sezonah. Uspešna je bila kandidatura Kajakaške zveze Slovenije, ki se je potegovala za organizacijo tekme svetovnega pokala v slalomu na divjih vodah v letu 2025.
Poleg tacenske kajakaške proge bodo v sezoni 2025 svetovni pokali v slalomu na divjih vodah organizirani še v Pragi (Češka), La Seu d’Urgellu (Španija), Pauu (Francija) in Augsburgu (Nemčija). Svetovna pokala v sprintu na mirnih vodah v letu 2025 bosta v Szegedu in Poznanju, enako kakor letošnjega maja.
Kajakaški center Tacen bo svetovni pokal v slalomu na divjih vodah gostil tudi letos, in sicer med 15. in 18. junijem, prihodnje leto pa bo na Savi potekalo člansko evropsko prvenstvo v slalomu na divjih vodah.
Mednarodna kajakaška zveza bo leta 2027 pisala zgodovino, saj bodo skupaj organizirali svetovno prvenstvo v kar treh kajakaških disciplinah. Čast je pripadla Špancem, ki so vložili skupno kandidaturo La Seu d’Urgella in bližnjega Sorta, ki bosta gostila svetovno prvenstvo in olimpijske kvalifikacije v slalomu na divjih vodah za OI v Los Angelesu 2028, svetovno prvenstvo v spustu na divjih vodah in svetovno prvenstvo v kajakaškem prostem slogu. S skupno kandidaturo je španska kajakaška zveza prisluhnila pozivom in strategiji ICF ‘Fit For Future’, kjer gre za prizadevanja za okoljsko bolj trajnostne dogodke.
Svetovno prvenstvo in olimpijske kvalifikacije v sprintu na mirnih vodah in parakajakaštvu v letu 2027 bo gostil Szeged, svetovno prvenstvo v sprintu za mladince in mlajše člane bo v Plovdivu, istega leta pa bo SP v kajakaškem maratonu organizirano v danskem Silkeborgu.
»Izvršni odbor ICF bi se želel zahvaliti vsem nacionalnim zvezam, ki so se prijavile za organizacijo dogodkov ICF. Število kandidatur, ki smo jih prejeli, je močan glas podpore razburljivosti in privlačnosti našega športa. Tiste zveze, ki ob tej priložnosti niso bile uspešne, bi spodbudil, da se v prihodnje ponovno potegujejo, nove države, ki bi želele biti del našega programa, pa naj izrazijo svoj interes,« je ob tem povedal predsednik ICF Thomas Konietzko.
Slovenian and Italian canoe slalom paddlers were highly motivated in Saturday’s heats of the 2023 ECA Open Canoe Slalom European Cup race in Ljubljana – Tacen, Slovenia, as this is part of the selection process for national teams of both nations. The fastest paddlers of the day were Eva Alina Hočevar in women’s canoe, Giovanni De Gennaro in men’s kayak, Stefanie Horn in women’s kayak and Benjamin Savšek in men’s canoe.
Olympic Champion Benjamin Savšek (SLO) showed why he is one of the best canoeists of all times and easily won in Saturday’s heats of the ECA Cup on his home course in Ljubljana – Tacen. With a penalty free run he was two seconds faster than his teammate from Slovenian national team Luka Božič. Savšek and Božič are currently ranked first and second at the ICF World Ranking list. The third place was won by Italian Paolo Ceccon, who also had a penalty free run and was 4.16 seconds behind Savšek.
In women’s canoe two Slovenian paddlers occupied first and second position and made the first step towards qualifying to the national team and having the right to participate at the biggest international competitions of the season, including the European Games and World Championships. It was Eva Alina Hočevar who celebrated a win ahead of Alja Kozorog, who was 3.81 seconds behind. Italian Elena Borghi was third in the heats.
Italian Giovanni De Gennaro again paddled really well on the Sava River. He was the winner of the ECA Cup in 2021 and 2022 and is looking strong to prolong the winning streak at this course at the European Cups. He had a touch, but was 0.38 seconds faster than Slovenian Peter Kauzer, who also picked up two penalty seconds. Young Italian paddler Xabier Ferrazi, son of a 1992 Olympic Champion Pierpaolo Ferrazi and former Spanish canoe slalom paddler Maria Eizmendi Perez, finished third in the heats.
Stefanie Horn, German-born Italian paddler, who is the reigning European Champion, was the best in women’s kayak heats. Horn who also won a silver medal at European Championships in 2017 at this course in Ljubljana – Tacen was 1.16 seconds faster than Eva Terčelj. Both Horn and Terčelj, the 2019 World Champion, had a touch in the last part of the course which earned them two seconds penalty. Ajda Novak was faultless on the course, but slower than the top two athletes in this event, so she finished third.
On Sunday, the semi-final of the 2023 ECA Open Canoe Slalom European Cup in Slovenia will start at 10.30 and final at 14.30.
