The Brazilian Isaquias Queiroz, 28, won this Saturday (6th) the gold medal in the C1 500m test during the Canoeing and Paracanoeing World Championships held in Halifax, Canada.
The Olympic champion was among the leaders throughout the stage, but it was in the final stretch that he accelerated to get away from his rivals. Thus, he closed the dispute with a time of 1min54s49, two seconds ahead of the second place, the Romanian Catalin Chirila. Czech Martin Fuksa, with 1min56s79, completed the podium.
Isaquias reached his 13th medal in Worlds and could reach the mark of 14 podiums in this edition.
“I’m very happy to be here a year after Tokyo won another medal. My focus now is Paris 2024”, celebrated the Brazilian.
This Sunday (7), Isaquias will have another chance to win another medal, in his second final in Canada. He will compete in the C1 1000 race. The disputes start from 11:00 (BrasÃlia time).
The Bahian is one of the biggest names in Brazil in the Olympic Games, with a gold, two silver and a bronze joining the two editions he participated, Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020. In Worlds, he now has seven golds and six bronzes in the seven editions that disputed.
