In the final of the C1 1000m at the Canoeing World Championship, Isaquias Queiroz was in sixth place and still hasn’t won his place in Paris-24
This Saturday, the 26th, the Olympic champion Isaquias Queiroz returned to the waters of the Canoe Sprint World Championship in duisburgat Germany. In the dispute of the C1 1000m final, he had only the sixth best time and did not guarantee his place on the podium. In an interview with “TV Globo”, he also regretted not having gotten an early Olympic spot.
That’s because the World Championship granted a place in the Olympics to the five best placed in the final of the C1 1000m. “It was a different year for me, I slowed down my pace. I preferred to slow down the training a bit. I started training hard in May only. I was training in Bahia, in Ilhéus, it was really bad. I came to look for the vacancy“, began Isaquias.
“But there’s still C2. For Paris, yes, I will do a very intense training. Paris is what I crave most right now. My physique is not ideal. From December until now I have reduced the training a lot. I couldn’t reach my peak. It had been a year without competing internationally. I felt a little my lower back, my waist“, vented the athlete.
I was 100% ready for the test, but the test was very hard. Tiredness took over. My place is on the podium. I’m just upset about not getting the Olympic spot. I’m going to train even more because I don’t like to be without a medal“, finished.
