French kayaker Boris Neveu won the final kayak cross of the World Cup season on Sunday in the Vaires-sur-Marnes basin, the Olympic site of the Paris 2024 Olympics in less than ten months.
Already a silver medalist at the Worlds two weeks earlier, the 37-year-old veteran confirms his knowledge in this discipline which will appear for the first time on the Games program next summer. World champion in K1 slalom (kayak) in 2014 then 2021 further confuses the puzzle of the Olympic selection for the French Federation (FFCK) which must announce its list on Thursday for the Olympics. Neveu is up against the little prodigy Titouan Castryck, 19, who won the World Cup slalom the day before in the same Vaires-sur-Marne basin.
A nation cannot have more than one slalom quota. One of those selected in C1 (canoe) or K1 (kayak) must be entered in kayak cross, where a second qualifying place can be won by three countries during an event in June.
