The first European champions of the 2026 Paddle Europe Junior and Under 23 Sprint Championships were crowned on Saturday as ten 1000meters Final A races opened the medal Program in Szeged.
The opening title session immediately produced history: a new European Best Time, Türkiye’s first individual medal at these championships, a third consecutive title for Czechia’s Adam Rudolf and Great Britain’s return to the men’s podium after seven years.
Four of the ten races were won by AIN-A or AIN-B. As these delegations are not included as countries in the National Federation medal table, six gold medals count towards the official country ranking after the first finals day.
Paddle Europe is pleased to welcome Hungarian boat manufacturer HODY as its newest official partner, further strengthening its network of companies committed to the development and future of paddle sport across Europe.
