World Cup in Augsburg: canoe slalom: Andrea Herzog in the final

Andrea Herzog from Leipzig made it to the final of the Canoe Slalom World Championships in Augsburg.

In the ice channel, the 2019 world champion touched the pole, but still set the third-best time in the canoe. The 22-year-old from Saxony showed that she still has some reserves for the final.

However, defending champion Elena Lilik from Augsburg was eliminated. She blundered at goal 22, but before that she had to rework a goal enormously, which cost valuable time and thus her participation in the final. The surprise world champion from the previous year only came in 16th. Nele Bayn from Leipzig had previously been eliminated in twelfth place in the repechage.
