The Hungarian town of Szeged is this week the epicenter of international canoeing with the World Championship dispute, which is also a qualifier for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games. UCAM's paddler, Sete Benavides, student of the Degree in Activity Science Physics and Sports at the Catholic University, along with his teammate Toni Segura, achieved third place in C2 500 meters in a final that was very tight in the fight for the podium.
The successes of the UCAM paddlers continued with the classification for semifinals of Paco Cubelos and Ãñigo Peña in K2 1,000 meters and the pass of Teresa Portela to the final of K1 200 meters.
The Galician could get this passport this weekend for her sixth Olympic Games.
In addition, the Spanish team added gold in C2 200 meters with the Pedrero - Graña couple in a great day for our canoeists who hope to continue harvesting metals and Olympic squares during the weekend.
