Marcel Paufler just misses the top 10 in the EM Canum Arathon!

Marcel Paufler, the only Bremen participant in the European Chanerying Sports Championships, took a solid 13th place on the Lima river on June 6, 2025. In a time of 13: 57.61 minutes, he missed a placement among the top ten participants by only a few seconds, specifically by almost two seconds. This performance shows that Paufler, who had prepared primarily for the long -distance race in training, was still able to assert himself in the competition. He qualified as a lead seventh for the final of the best 20 and was satisfied with the final result despite the initial difficulties.

Paufler's optimism is great because his focus is now on the upcoming long -distance race over 29.8 kilometers, which will be held on Saturday. He hopes to be able to build on his experiences on the Lima. The race is part of a number of international competitions that are important for the upcoming European Championships, since these will take place on July 24th to 28th, 2024 in Poznan, Poland. The European Canal Sports Championships are an important event in canoeing and kayoning, which were first held in Prague in 1933 and are now organized by the European Canoe Association.

results and outlook

Marcel Paufler, now 29 years old, had already emerged in international competitions in the past. He achieved his best placements so far at the World Cup in the Kanumarathon in Brandenburg an der Havel in the run -up to these European Championships: fifth place on the short distance and a eighth place on the long distance. These results made him the best German participant in his performance class. In addition, the German Canoe Association will announce the nominations for the European Championship in the coming week.

While Paufler is on the road to success, his brother Sven Paufler had the bad luck of only taking 29th place on the long distance at the World Cup due to stomach cramps. However, since he could be nominated for the European Championship in the team constellation in the Kajak-Zweier with Marcel, the hope of participation is retained. In addition, the young Canutin Hjördi's summer became promising in the first year in the performance class 16th and 18th on short and long distance and also has chances of an EM nomination. The Bremen junior Marit Behrens also showed promising services with her 8th place on the short distance and the 12th place on the long-haul services, but the European Championship chances depend on the nominations of other canoe specialists.

The European Chanery Cups have been taking place since 2004 in the annual rhythm and are an important platform for athletes to measure themselves internationally, as well as in the last discovery at the European 2023. The events are considered significant qualifications for determining the best canoeists in Europe, a tradition that will continue after the championships in 1997.

Overall, it turns out that Marcel Paufler and his team are on a promising path to make a name for themselves at both national and international level.
