Great weather, perfect water levels and organization\u00c2\u00a0and especially the impressive list of world class kayakers made the event as amazing as every year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">As I finished 3rd in 2010, there was a quite a bit of pressure on me. My two qualification runs were all right, putting me in 12th position for the head-to-head final on the more difficult section of the river. I was able to win my first duel against Tomass Marnics, although we both had big problems at the so called &#8220;Champions&#8217; Killer&#8221; (see picture above), the last drop before the final sprint. This took me to the next round against Michele Ramazza. Apparently, he\u00c2\u00a0had a really solid run, but I struggled at the last drop again. That was it, too slow, no super final (top 15) for me this year. I finished 22nd in the end. Well, I&#8217;ve already analyzed my mistakes and am looking forward to next year, then racing in the new Pyranha Shiva! Even if this was certainly not my best extreme race so far, I enjoyed paddling the Wellerbruecken-stretch of the Oetz River anyway.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Just like last year, Sam Sutton took home the WC-belt with an outstanding final run. Mike Dawson finished 2nd, Germany&#8217;s Paul Boeckelmann 3rd &#8211; congratulations to all of them! 7 paddlers finished within only one second, which meant some really tight racing and absolutely no room for mistakes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">For more information, full results, the (re-)live webstream of the super final and more photos, please visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.adidas-sickline.com\">www.adidas-sickline.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the 5th time in a row the adidas sickline extreme kayak world championships took place in Oetz\/Austria at the weekend again.
