Four times Olympic medallist Saul Cravitto talked about postponement of Olympic Games and difficult times the world and Spain encountered this year. 35-year-old paddler agrees that postponement of the Games was sensible, even though it was hard to accept it after three years of hard training. He pointed out he and his teammates will try even harder because their country deserves some joy.

The pandemic turned everything upside down this year and sport is no exception. Organisers of ECA European Championships which were supposed to be organised this year managed to find new dates in autumn if the health situation will allow it, however, for senior canoe slalom European Championships a new organiser had to be found. Czech Canoe Union offered the organisation of the championships in second half of September and ECA’s board of directors accepted the offer.

ECA's board of directors confirmed new dates for majority of this year’s scheduled European Championships.
