In the lead up to the Slovenian Open this weekend a flat water parallel slalom race was held last night on the main canal running right through the middle of Ljubljana (basically like holding a slalom at Southbank in Melbourne). There were stacks of entrants (minus Team Guinea as there was no C1W or C2 class) and the banks of the river were filled with spectators, which also overflowed into the main square where a big screen was projecting the racing. Team Aussie did well with Ian and Christian making the round of 16 in C1, and the 3 Aussie girls (Ros, Kate and Sarah) all making it through to the top 8. Unfortunately Ros and Kate were drawn to race each other and in a tight race Ros advanced into the final against Corrina Khnule. Unfortunately the Austrian was too fast and took away the win.
Today Sarah, Susie and Leanne ticked another box on the to do list by cruising down to the coastal town of Opatija in Croatia for a day of relaxation. Definitely recommended!
