Sunday was dramatic for whitewater canoeist Ricard Funk. Funk made a mistake at gate 20 and his dream of another Olympic gold medal was shattered. But Germany also has a hot iron in the men’s water: the Augsburg Sideris TasiadisAfter silver in 2012 and bronze in 2020, gold is still missing for the complete collection. The semi-final starts at 3:30 p.m., followed by the final at 5:20 p.m.
From a German perspective, it has not been very common in the past to talk about medal hopes in the water. Inspired by his Olympic victory, Lukas Maertens but will soon add the next medal to his collection. At 8.40 p.m. he will enter the pool in the final of the 200-meter freestyle.
