Double delight for Cuba and Austria at Barnaul Canoe Sprint World Cup Saturday, 22 May 2021 Cuba and Austria both claimed two gold medals at the International Canoe Federation (ICF) Canoe Sprint World Cup in Barnaul. There were also wins for Norway, the Czech Republic, China, Lithuania and host nation Russia as several Tokyo-bound athletes continued their preparations ahead of this year’s Olympic Games. Austria’s Ana-Roxana Lehaci and Viktoria Schwarz only had their Olympic K2 500-metre tickets confirmed earlier this month. And the duo celebrated more success when they raced to victory in Barnaul in a time of 1min 50.279sec as Argentina and Mexico had to settle for silver and bronze respectively.
