The Spanish-Leoness David Llorente was fifth in the final of kayak and Joan Crespo held the tenth place in the final classification.

One of the great protagonists of the day was David Llorente. The young kayakista became the leader of the competition after a strong sanction was overturned due to an arbitral error. Only two points and a good record led him to be in the top three for a long time. However, the last to take the exit were better and the Czech Vit Prindis was the winner, also after filing a claim.

In this specialty he also competed the Basque Joan Crespo, which made a good descent. He ended up at the twelfth place. To check equality among all participants, he stayed eight seconds of the champion.

Samuel Hernánz also participated in the last day of the Eslalon European Championship. Despite his great effort, he could not overcome the semi-final in the kayak mode. Neither did the Canoist Klara Olazabal.
