Maialen Chourraut, vigente campeona olímpica, y Ander Elosegi lograron con solvencia durante la madrugada del domingo su clasificación para las semifinales de las categorías de K1 y C1 de piragüismo eslalon, respectivamente, de los Juegos de Tokio 2020. Ambos cumplieron sin sobresalto alguno y, como estaba previsto, superaron la criba inicial en el complicado canal de Kasai y, aunque consideran que será difícil, estarán en la lucha por alcanzar los puestos de privilegio una cita olímpica más.
