Earlier, the Benfica canoeist, already qualified for the Paris2024 Olympic Games, came in second in the second semi-final, which he completed in 3.29.01 minutes.

In the same race, João Ribeiro came in fifth in the third semi-final, in 3.33.04 minutes, which gave him a place in the B final, in which he came in third, in 3.28.12.

In the K1 200, Messias Batista, who will be alongside João Ribeiro in the K2 500 in Paris2024, also won bronze, with 34.74 seconds, beaten by the Lithuanian Ignas Navakauskas, who won in 34.32, and the Polish Jakub Stepun, who came in second, in 34.58.

The also 'incarnate' canoeist qualified for the final by winning the second semi-final, in 34.60 seconds.

Also in the K1 200, Iago Bebiano won the B final, in 34.65 seconds, after coming in fourth in the third semi-final, with 35.64, and missing the main final.

Also today, Teresa Portela came in second in the B final of the K1 500, with 1.49.21 minutes, after coming in third in the first semi-final, in 1.52.63, while Beatriz Fernandes came in seventh in the second semi-final of the C1 200, in 47.95 seconds.
