At 23 years old Gabriela Satkova and Marta Bertoncelli are very much the future of women’s Canoe Slalom.
In Paris, Satkova was making her Olympic debut. The Czech qualified fastest for the final, but her big Olympic medal opportunity didn’t go to plan. Paris was Olympics number two for Italy’s Bertoncelli, and after making it to the semi-final, a couple of mistakes ended her Olympic campaign.
In our latest episode of our podcast series ‘Inside Paris’, Gabriela and Marta reflect on their Paris Olympic experience, how they dealt with the disappointment, and how they’re going to come back even stronger for LA28.
