Reigning Olympic champion Martin Fuksa won the opening World Cup race in sprint canoeing in Szeged, Hungary.

Victory came down to a hundredth of a second, underscoring the tension of the race and the excellent form of the Czech canoeist at the start of the season. irozhlas.cz ↗ isport.cz ↗
Fuksa returned to competition after a very short break. Just six days earlier, he had taken part in the Prague marathon, where he achieved his personal goal and completed the running distance in a time of 2 hours 56 minutes and 19 seconds. Despite this physically demanding test, he recovered quickly and returned to his main sport, in which he dominates the international scene. sport.cz - fotbal ↗ idnes.cz ↗
The victory in Szeged marks an excellent start to the World Cup season and confirms the Czech canoeist's position among the world's best sprint canoeists. Fuksa thus built on his previous successes and showed that he is able to face competition at the highest level. The result from Hungary serves as a positive signal for the rest of the season's races. denik.cz ↗ denik.cz ↗
