Kayaker Martin Dougoud conquers the quota place for the Paris Olympics at the World Championships in Lee Valley, England, but the disappointment is still palpable. De Geneve missed the bronze medal in the canoe slalom by just two hundredths.
It is not yet clear whether the 32-year-old, who lives and trains in Pau, France, will participate in the Olympic Games for the second time after Tokyo. This partly depends on Dougoud’s results in the new Olympic cross discipline. Internally he has to fear for Dimitri Marx, who only finished 38th in the canoe slalom on Saturday, but is a strong cross-country skier. A canoeist selected for Paris can participate in both slalom and cross.
Dougoud won silver this summer at the European Games in Poland, which were considered the European Canoeing Championships. He was not among the top favorites at the World Cup, but with a fourth place in the semi-finals he also made his ambitions known there. De Romand lost 2.61 seconds to the victorious Briton Joseph Clarke, the Moroccan Mathis Soudi took the bronze from him.
Marx fails in the semi-finals
Among the women, Alena Marx was eliminated in the semi-finals with a 16th place. In the adjusted Olympic rankings, this also provides women with a Swiss ticket for Paris 2024. Nationally, Alena Marx is the clear leader. (SDA)
