French paddlers Romane Prigent, Anatole Delassus and Tanguy Addison firmed in favouritism to win gold at the 2021 ICF junior and U23 canoe slalom world championships with impressive heat runs in hot conditions in Slovenia on Wednesday.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spain\u2019s Miquel Trave was the only athlete to stand between France and a clean sweep of the qualifiers, posting the quickest time in the men\u2019s U23 canoe slalom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thirty years after his father won world championship gold on the same Tacen course, 18-year-old Frenchman Tanguy Addison qualified fastest in the men\u2019s junior C1 heats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBefore the run I felt a little bit stressed, but during the run it felt so good, so clean,\u201d Addison said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think I can go faster. My father is watching in the tribune, it\u2019s so good to be racing here at the same place where he won 30 years ago.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prigent said Tacen was fast becoming her favourite canoe slalom course. On Tuesday she was part of the victorious French K1 U23 team, which followed her world cup gold in Ljubljana last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a short run here in Tacen, but I did a clean run, with maybe a couple of small mistakes, but I think it was a good one,\u201d Prigent said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI love this course, I love the way we can paddle with the water, I think it\u2019s really nice. The course is even nicer with the drop now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think its good for teams to win a medal at the start, because it shows everyone we are here and we can win gold medals.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anatole Delassus won the K1 junior world title in Krakow in 2019, and showed he is ready to take on the older paddlers with an error-free run in the U23 qualifiers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI felt good on the water, my run was very good, but I hope I\u2019ve kept my best run for Friday,\u201d Delassus said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI feel excited and very motivated for these championships. It\u2019s been hard, but the French Federation have organised a lot of training, so I feel good.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Miquel Trave is one of only a handful of male paddlers in the world who competes in both the K1 and the C1. On Wednesday he comfortably qualified for the semi-finals in the U23 K1 in the morning, and then set the fastest time in the C1 in the afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI felt really good in the water, a bit nervous maybe because it\u2019s been two years without a world championships, so it was good to feel the start line again,\u201d Trave said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI don\u2019t feel any pressure, I obviously want to get another world title, so I will fight for it. It\u2019s not easy, there are 10 or 12 people who can win this world championship, so it is time to fight, time to focus on the semi-finals.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ICF junior and U23 canoe slalom world championships continue on Thursday, with racing in men\u2019s and women\u2019s junior kayak, and the women\u2019s junior and U23 canoe.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
