European Canoe Championships: Gold medal confidently secured
Sebastian Brendel, the three-time Olympic champion, won gold together with his two-man partner Tim Hecker!
On the first weekend of June, the two won the 1,000 meters, having previously secured 2nd place in the 500 meters behind Russia.
We* are happy that Sebastian and Tim were able to continue their winning ways and hope that Sebastian will be able to defend his 2016 title in Tokyo.
