White Water Racing European Championships 2017
The 11th Canoe White Water Racing European Championships took place from May 11th to 14th, 2017. They were held in the Macedonian capital Skopje on the Vardar . The most successful nation was the Czech Republic. The German team was by no means able to repeat the successful performance at the 2015 European White Water Racing Championships. Five medals, including one gold, were won on the classic route. Only one medal was won in the sprint. One reason was that the German team only came with a small delegation for cost reasons.
