Chinese surprise in C2 category

Without two touches made in the Finals no one would have beaten Hochschorner brothers. Despite the penalisation, they finished on the second position loosing on 33 hundreds of second against Chinese Hu a Shu, who were clean reaching the time 108.05. Bronze medal goes to Polish boat Szczepanski-Pochwala (108.70). Shocking can be called the mistake of Volf and Štěpánek (second in the semi-finals) who finished on the last position in the Finals.

Volf - Štepánek missed already the third gate. How shocking this was for them could be seen from a short break which they took immediately after the missed gate.. They have continued racing but missed another gate and touched twice further on. They couldn’t hide their disappointment after the race.
