The International Federation of Piragüismo confirmed on Tuesday the square of the Spanish palist Pablo Crespo in the category C1 1000 at the Olympic Games in Paris 2024 following the resignation of the Russian Federation to that quota, so the Spanish team will have up to 21 piragüists in the event that will host the French capital

Pablo Crespo will be the Spanish palist who will fight for the medals in Paris in the test of the C1 1000 meters. Paul managed to take the post after he won the national selective held in April at the Pontillón de Castro Embalse, but it was not until a month later that, in the Szeged PreOlympic, before the World Cup, he fought for this square. There, Paul had to end between the first and second in the final, and that of the Piragüismo School City of Pontevedra finished third, behind the Russian Zakhar Petrov, which competes under neutral flag, and the Italian Nicolae Craiciun.

In order for Spain to achieve this place in the Games, the Russian Federation had to give up its place, since in the same pre-Olympic, the Russian C2 500 had achieved a place at the exit of Paris 2024 and could only have one of the two places achieved. Finally, the resignation in this C1 1000 means that Spain, and nominally Pablo Crespo, will come to Paris to represent our country in the test of the individual hectometer of the canoe.
