World cup no.2

The second World cup was situated in Augsburg. Me and Nina we know this wave good, we was in Augsburg many times for competitions and training. The hole is big and really powerful; it wasn’t easy to do hard tricks there and even harder to repeat the good rides. The trainings were open until Thursday and we were able to see there some pretty good rides with huge loops, maybe bigger I ever saw. On Thursday we had National trainings. We started our day with Adidas team meeting, with nice breakfast. Me and Nina we get training for 35 min together with Norway, but they didn’t come there and we had it alone in two people. After 10 min we were done and open the training for everyone to not be selfish. At the evening we had a nice Adidas dinner and then we went to sleep to be prepared fir next day. At Friday were all the qualifications except K1 woman which was good because Nina was feeling sick. After the qualification I end on the 2^nd place, Steven Wright was 1^st and 3^rd was EJ. In C1 category: 1^st Hummel Markus, 2^nd Stepan Fidler , 3^rd Hitzigrad Philipp. Next day started with K1 woman. For the woman category the play spot was little bit hard, but they still were doing well and some of them get more points than half of the men. On the 1^st place was Ruth Gordon with awesome rides 2^nd was Nina Halasova, 3^rd was Devillez Marlene. Next up was quarterfinals for man. It was cut to 10 people. I end on the 1^st place, second was Dustin Urban and third Krummreich Daniel. In the semifinals also in the same day Nina end on the 5^th, but she still made the finals which was awesome. After the semis in men Mathieu Dumoulin was 1^st , 2^nd EJ , 3^rd me with the same score as Simon Strohmeier. On Sunday was just finals, it was really hard competition, everyone was stress and couldn’t do the rides as they wanted. In Woman: 1^st Emily Jackson with awesome MC nasty , 2^nd Ruth Gordon, 3^rd Lindgren Maria with the same score as Nina Halasova , 5^th Devillez Marlene. In the C1 the winner was Markus Hummel , 2^nd Stepan Fidler (leader of the world cup ), 3^rd was Besseau Alexandre. In the man category with awesome ride end up on the first position Dustin Urban , 2^nd Peter Csonka , 3^rd Eric Jackson .

It was a nice event full of awesome rides.

Now we are in Thun for training ( 3^rd and final event of the World cup 2008 ).

Training before the World cup of freestyle kayaking.

We spend this weekend in Prague, capital city of Czech rep. where the first World cup should be situated. It is about 350 km from Slovakia where I and Nina live, but we didn’t been there about 3 years. The play spot is finished now, it is a strong hole with two shoulders where is possible to make tricks for both sides.

Kosatka river run withot the paddle

Kopecek love old school

It is bit difficult but it is very sticky and if the paddler will make a mistake he probably will have another chance to finish his moves. We been training there almost alone, just with couple of Czech paddlers like Peter Prause , Jan Spindler , Petra , Reznik and some others. It was good because the playspot was just ours , and we had more space to train like one week before the WC when everyone will be there. When we was tired, we were in Zoo to chill out.

In Prague is one of the most beautiful Zoos on the World. After 3,5 hour hiking all over the Zoo we was so broken than we couldn’t go kayaking the second session at this day. What else to say. This weekend 9-10 august we have Slovak championship, it is open of course and how I said before everyone is invited. Here are some info’s .

Enjoy the pictures from the spot.

See you in Prague

European Championship 2008

European championship 2008 was held far far away- in Spain’s town Orensse, close to Portugal border. It was far almost for everyone but especially for us it was really far-3200km! Crazy way. We flew there before , but this time we arrange with our friends to go with them. They have a cool RV so traveling was quite comfortable but still it took 3 days. We come there at Friday night. Saturday we train a little, until water drop. Sunday water was low but afternoon rise it little bit and we could to go paddle. Monday started national’s trainings. We were in group with Germans, one Austrian and two Czech guys. At all we were about 25 people in the eddy and had 1 hour for training. It means that everyone made about 5 rides. Tuesday was the same. Wednesday competition started with qualification K1M and K1W. Me and Peter we did well. I ended on 2^nd place and Peter on 3th. Thursday I had rest and Peter competed in squirt category. It was his first time and he didn’t compete on squirt boat but on his project. He wasn’t only one. About 5 guys joined this category on freestyle boats to help to open this category because they didn’t have enough squirt paddlers. Peter ended up on 7^th place! Really nice. Friday competition continued in the morning with quarterfinal of K1M. 10 best paddler made it to semifinal. After this all categories had semifinal. I went from 1^st place. I was really surprised and delighted. Saturday was the day with big D! It was day for final rides. H2H is really stressful. I leaded first and also second run where I did loops what was really difficult to stick it there and any woman did it in competition run. Then I missed it in my 3th ride and finally finished on 3th place. Querin Wegmany (NL) was 2^nd and Fiona Jarvie (GBR) was 1^st.




K1M final very tight. After hard fight Peter didn't had so much luck flush out at the middle of his ride and finished on 3th, Gael Kernin (FRA) on 2^nd an Mathieu Dumoulin (FRA) on 1^st place.

So we both brought home two bronze medals. Now they call us bronze coupleJ but I hope next time we will be gold couple!

All pictures are taken from Peter Prause , thanks a lot.

See you on WC.

Bye Nina.
