Unbeatable closure of the European Games for Spanish Pyragüism in Krakow. On the last day of the competition of the old continent's championships, the national combined won the second of the metals in the Olympic Slalom

A silver obtained by Miquel Travé at the end of the C1, which added to the gold of the K1 by teams, made the one chosen to carry the national flag at the closing ceremony the gold and silver of these Games.

The Tale medal began to chew in the semifinals where, in a very good fall, it was able to finish the round in fifth position with a time of 98.65 seconds and a single penalty in the fourth door.... Daniel Pérez did not do so well that, despite not committing violations, he stopped the clock in 111.34 seconds to finish twenty-sixth.

In the final, Travé improved his time in 3.49 seconds, to stop the crone in 95.16 seconds. A brand that failed to overcome any of the remaining five competitors. In fact, it remained only 1.15 seconds from the gold, which was signed by the British Ryan Westley. The third step of the podium was the Czech Vaclav Chaloupka, to which only 94 million were separated from Spanish.

Our girls at C1 had no luck... and both Look Lazkano... and Nuria Vilarubla... returned from vacuum to Spain.

The two female representatives at the C1 were left without the final prize. The first to compete was Mira Lazkano, whose two touches on doors six and seven conditioned his downfall.

It ended in the 18th place, with 118.10 seconds, more than eight seconds from the German Elena Lilik, winner of the series with a time of 110.04.

Nor could the palist of La Seu d'Urgel, Nuria Vilarubla, enter the best 10 times. It ended with a time of 116.06 to end in the twelfth position.

The competition at the Olympic Slalom was closed with the Kayak Cross's elimination dispute. He was not lucky David Llorente that in his series of quarters in the end, a dispute with one of the contenders left him without options, overturned and with the shovel split in two. However, David completed the tour.

Maialen Chourraut was the female representative in this Olympic mode, which will be the first time in Paris 2024. Nor could the donostiarra that finished third of its series be passed to semi-finals.

In this way, Spain concludes its participation in the Olympic Slalom mode with two medals... the gold of the first day in the K1 for teams and the silver of the last day in C1, achieved by Miquel Travé. In total, Spanish pyragüism ends this third edition of the European Games with nine medals (seven in the Olympic sprint).
