Three out of three Tono Campos yesterday added his third gold medal in the Marathon World Championship which takes place in the Danish town of Vejen. The man from Grove, in the company of Diego Romero, won the first position in the C-2thus repeating the images of the grovanse in top of the box in the C-1 Short Race on Thursday and in the C-1 Long Race on Saturday.
Conquering his third gold was not easy. The Breogán boat faced the Poles Mateusz Zuchora and Mateusz Borgiel, as well as the As Torres Romaría Vikinga de Catoira boat made up of Diego Miguéns and Fernando Busto. The three boats escaped practically from the beginning, and they were taking turns in front of the test while the ciabogas and the porters went by. Everything was resolved after the last turn, 500 meters from the finish line, when Campos and Romero and the Polish couples managed to get a small advantage over Miguéns and Busto. In the final sprint, the Grovenses were better, although they did not need to, since they the Polish couple had been penalized thirty seconds. Thus, in addition to the gold of Campos and Romero, the other couple from Arousa took the silver by entering just eight seconds behind the winners.
The picture of the four Arousanos at the top of the podium that had been seen in Ponte de Lima It was repeated yesterday in Vejen, demonstrating the great work carried out by the estuary clubs in the canoe, a boat that is offering most of the joys to the Arousan fleet.
These two medals were not the only ones from the Arousan fleet. It was then disputedl K-2 female, where Tudense Tania Fernandez and Grovense Tania Alvarez defended the title obtained in Ponte de Lima last year. Both left in the leading group, made up of some eight boats among which was the other Spanish couple and the two Hungarian boats. The strong rhythm was taking down rivals until the last ciaboga, in which only five boats remained in a position to fight for the gold.
those last 500 meters were very intense, with the two Hungarian boats, the Galician and the South African with the bows practically equal to the finish line. The first boat to cross the line was that of the Hungarians Vanda Kiszli and Emese Kohalmi, with a time of 1.53.31. TO only 43 hundredths entered the bow of the Tanias, while the Hungarians Csilla Rugasi and Panna Csepe crossed the finish line at 88 hundredths. The South African boat crewed by Nicole Birkett and Jade Wilson had to settle for fourth place as they crossed the finish line 1 second and 43 hundredths behind the winners.
