After races held in the United Kingdom, Germany, and Italy, Banja Luka hosted the fifth and final race of the Euro Cup in wildwater kayaking and canoeing, with more than one hundred participants competing in all disciplines.
The medals were awarded by representatives of the City, specifically the Department of Social Activities. As noted by the mayor’s adviser, Mirna Savić – Banjac, after the ceremony, it is significant that Banja Luka brings together such prestigious names in this competition.
- We are happy that Banja Luka is the host of such an important race and that we have welcomed so many international competitors to our city. Kayaking is a sport that is very important and recognizable for our city. Special congratulations to the organizers – the Vrbas Mtel Canoe Kayak Club – for organizing such an event and for their remarkable achievements, said Savić – Banjac.
The races took place alongside the newly constructed promenade, specifically on the section from the city beach in Srpske Toplice to the Kastel Fortress.
The medal ceremony was held near the Green Bridge.
