European championship Lienz finals
This month was one of the hardest but also one of the best in my life.
After the World cup where Nina finished 1st and me on the 2nd place we went home. The Plattling competition was canceled because of the high water levels. If there is lot of water you can find there the big waves. Unfortunately and it was breaking my hard we couldn’t stay there for surfing because we needed to go home, because I was finishing my studies at the same time. I had just 2 days in the school to finish everything and than we left for the European championships which was situated in Lienz. The payspot in Lienz is a very hard spot for the physical fitness and also it wasn't very easy to stick the moves. During the competition I had some problems with stabilizing of my rides , the levels were rising and drooping every day, so it was making it even harder. There were lot of awesome kayakers in the competition like Gerd Serrasolses ESP( ADIDAS team member ) , Mathieu Dumoulin FRA( ADIDAS team member ), Bebbington James GBR, Martin Koll DE, Jan Spindler CZE or Bartosz Czerwinski POL and others. All of them have awesome performance and style. For the judges is sometimes very difficult to judge for sure. So big thanks to all of them.
The woman category was also full of good kayakers. I think Nina had very good rides in the trainings, but unfortunately she flashed out from the hole in both rides. The final position for her was the place 18.

The finals for men category was very exited. Five kayakers and everybody want to win.
With my first run I made the second position behind James Bebbington, Mathieu made the 3rd place. I knew that the water drooped and I needed to make the next one even better. I had all my luck and skills in the same time and it happened, in next round I did 985 points. In the third round I couldn't do better and the results stayed. So I finished on the first place James Bebbington on 2nd place with awesome performance in this event and Mathieu was 3rd. So after long time and many trainings I had the the big day and now for next 2 years I will be the European champion!
