Boater X
Boater X
Following the qualifying heats on Friday morning, in which the fastest 40 men and 15 women qualify for the main competition on Saturday, the Boater X (Oetz Kayak Cross) will take place on the slalom course in Oetz. Only those who have not qualified for the main competition will be allowed to participate in this event. The number of participants in the Boater X is limited to 32 men and 16 women. So it's definitely worth giving it your all in the qualifiers.
Four paddlers start simultaneously on a set course. The first two advance — round after round, until only four finalists remain. Pure excitement for spectators and athletes alike. Fast decisions, close duels, full commitment.
