The Spanish team arrived on Monday to the British channel, in which it will train until next Saturday by accumulating a "lot of hours," with a triple session during a few days... the top responsible for the Spanish slalon thanks the "welcome" provided to them by the British Federation, whose palists share some training with the Spanish national team

The Spanish slalon selection trains this week in London on the Lee Valley channel, the only one in Europe similar to that built in Tokyo to host the JJOO 2020, for which Spanish piragüism seeks a place with a team led by the Basque Maialen Chourraut, Olympic champion in Rio 2016 and bronze medal in London 2012.

The leader of the Spanish Piragüismo Federation, Guille Diez-Canedo, explains that Lee Valley, is "currently the only channel in Europe that looks like" the installation that is being built in the Japanese capital with a design with the "same model of obstacles and water."

The palists attending the training in Lee Valley are Nuria Vilarubla, Klara Olazabal and Mira Lazkano in C1. Also called was the Olympic champion Maialen Chourraut, who did not come to choose to have some tranquility in Spain after training for almost two months in Australia and waiting to face several competitions.

In men are found in England Samuel Hernanz and David Llorente in K1 and Ander Elosegi and Miquel Travé in C1, with Diez@-@ Canedo and coaches Xabi Taberna and Anais Bouchet, and physiotherapist Naila Jornet.
