White Water Racing World Championships 2002
The 23rd canoe whitewater racing world championships took place in 2002 in Valsesia, Italy, on the Sesia . For the first time, world championship honors were also awarded in the sprint. The Italian Vladi Panato won his sixth individual title in a row in the Classic, as well as with victory in the sprint individual title number seven. France achieved first place in the medal classification, mainly due to the excellent performance of the French athletes in the sprint. The performance of the German team was disappointing after the successful 1990s. No successes could be achieved in the sprint. Here you had missed to adjust to the new route length.
