Qualification

The quals is over and once again the slovaks dominated all fields except the K1 mens. Fabien took it out again in style.
I qualified in 23rd after having some considerable trouble in the drop!! taking two rolls and getting a nice surf in the hole. The cut was top 40 so i was comfortably through. The rest of my run was sweet so it was pretty frustrating not to be able to complete a good run!! But the main thing i did enough to make it through to the semifinals where it all counts!

The other kiwi, Louise, missed the womans cut after having some trouble in the drop and incurring a 50 second penality.

Results were:

C1 1st Martician, 2nd Slafkovsky, 3rd Estanguet
K1W 1st Dukatova, 2nd Pfeifer, 3rd Benusova
C2 1st Kucera/ Batik, 2nd Hochschorners, 3rd Kuban/ Olejnik
K1M 1st Lefevre, 2nd Sajbidor, 3rd Diez-Canedo

All the best for Sundays racing. It all sounds like a great build up with top names there. Love Mum and dad
