Flawless run of Slovakian favourite Jana Dukátová assured the victory for her with great time 105.62. She was followed by Austrian athlete Violetta Oblinger-Peters (108.95) and German Claudia Baer (109.58). Czech representative Irena Pavelková finished on 9th position. Štěpánka Hilgertová placed on the 10th position kept the audience nervous until the very last run of the semi-final race. But Austrian winner of the Heats Corinna Kuhnle fought too long with the stream in the upstream gate No. 19 and her time placed her on the 11th position at the end. So in the Finals starting at 14:00 you will see two Czech representatives. For complete results please use following link.

Canadian John Hastings became the winner of the Semi-finals with the time 94:34 followed by the winner of the Heats, German athlete Alexander Grimm who was only four hundreds of second slower. The best time was performed by last – year´s winner of the World Cup Ranking, Peter Kauzer from Slovenia (94.57). The start list of the Finals includes also Daniele Molmenti from Italia and the Olympic winner from Athens, representative of Greece Benoit Peschier as well as the top British athlete Campbell Walsh.

Quite surprising has been the result of Luboš Hilgert 94.68, that brought him 4^th position and participation in the Finals. From the 8^th position, Vavřinec Hradílek passed to the Finals. Vít Přindiš, the 3rd Czech representative participating in the Semi-finals, unfortunately made a mistake on the second gate and finished on the 22^nd position.

Kajakář Daniele Molmenti nenašel konkurenci. Zajel vůbec nejlepší čas trati, kterému se nikdo nepřiblížil nejen ve finále, ale ani v semifinále – 92.62. Luboš Hilgert, který překvapil v semifinále, udržel dobrou formu a vybojoval ve finále druhou pozici (94.02). Třetí skončil poslední muž semifinále, Švýcar Michael Kurt (94.68). Ostatní kajakáři ve špičkově obsazeném závodě chybovali, čímž ztratili naději na medaile. Jeden dotek odsunul na čtvrté místo Němce Alexandra Grimma (96.47) a dva doteky na šesté místo slovinského favorita Petera Kauzera (96.97), který jinak zajel nejlepší čas po Molmentim. Vavřinec Hradílek dojel čtvrtý (96.82). Kompletní výsledky zde.
