Slovak slalom canoeist Alexander Slafkovsky finished second in the C1 final at the World Cup in water slalom in Augsburg, Germany. He was beaten by Germany's Sideris Tasiadis by 1.18 seconds, while another German Franz Anton ended up third (+1.61 seconds). Slafkovsky won his fourth silver from C1 at a world championship despite four penalty seconds. "Tears are coming to my eyes, I have no words. I thank everyone who kept their fingers crossed for me and still believed in me. It's a pity about the penalty seconds, but I probably don't belong to the 'old iron' yet," said 39-year-old Slafkovský.
