The Olympic champion Maialen Chourraut has today achieved the direct pass to the semifinal of the World Cup of Eslalon 2018, which is disputed on the channel Deodoro de Rio de Janeiro, in which the Basque palist proclaimed itself the Olympic champion of K1 in the 2016 JJOO, of which she claims that she has "many lagoons" against the "many" memories of so many workouts made in these "obsessed" facilities to win.

Chourraut, who described his return to the cariocal facilities as "very special," has been "happy to move the court to the first and to be quick again without doing anything special" because he has remembered that it comes from a year "difficult, of competitions in the World Cup that have cost him so much," in which it has been difficult to "meet."

For the 2018 World Cup that disputes these days in Deodoro, Chourraut aims to "come the Maialen fast" because she knows that if she gets to be fast "things come." Chourraut, gold in the JJOO 2016 and bronze in London 2012, commands the Spanish delegation participating in the 2018 World Championship in which the Spanish team has also today achieved the direct to semi-final pass in C1 of the Basque Olympic Ander Elosegi (Santiagoarrak), which has ended at the 13 in the first phase-out in which the first 20 got the pass.
