Satková wins bronze in canoe slalom World Cup

Czech canoeist Gabriela Satková won bronze at the 2023 ICF Canoe Slalom World Cup in Prague's Troja district on Saturday, taking home the only medal for the Czech team this year.

She was beaten by the Australian reigning Olympic champion Jessica Fox, who came in first, and Mónica Dória Vilarrubla from Andorra, who beat her by only 45 hundredths of a second to take silver. The best Czech man was Václav Chaloupka in sixth place.

With this bronze medal, the 21-year-old Satková, who unexpectedly dominated the European Championships in Prague in 2020 and was third at the World Championships in Bratislava the following year, has now completed her World Cup medal collection after last year's gold from Pau and silver from Seu d'Urgell.
