Slovenian Peter Kauzer ran well as usual (fourth place with a time 90.63). He's the running winner of this year World Cup serie and he'll definitely try to become an over-all winner in the final run. On the contrary, the olympic winner Alexander Grimm (GER), didn't get into the best ten kayakers. His twelth place is not good enough to get through semifinal.

Among the Czech paddlers there  will be besides Hradílek even Jiří Prskavec and Luboš Hilgert in the K1M final. Unfortunately, Vít Přindiš didn't get to the final due to incorrect navigation of the kayak through the gate.
