Day 3- Competition Review - Germans conquer the C2M and K1M

The German team are in celebration mode Sunday after German athletes took out both the Men's C2 and K1 finals.

Michael Senft and Christian Bahmann in the Men's C2 crossed the line with a total time of 2.24.40, hitting just one gate on their final run.

"We missed one touch but I'm very happy," said Senft. "It feels great! I'm missing the words at the moment."

The celebrations cannot go for too long however, as Senft and Bahmann are backing up tomorrow for their county in the teams event. "We'll have one or two beers but that should be enough," said Senft.

Canoe Slalom is no stranger to the Bahmann family, Bahmann's mother Angelika was slalom gold medallist at Munich.

Slovakia's Marian Olejnik and Milan Kuban who came in second seemed just as happy as the winners. "This is our biggest achievement," said Olejnik. "We have a lot of good luck in Australia."

It was not all cheers however, with Athens Olympic champions Pavol and Peter Hochschorner failing to make the final after hitting two gates.

The German contingent went up again after the Men's K1 Final when Fabian Doerfler took the World Championship by 2.74 seconds.

Doefler, who won the 2005 World Cup in Augsburg was ecstatic. "It's very good. I'm very happy now. It's unbelievable. I don't know what to say."

The 22-year-old was not just concerned with his own race, commenting on the Men's C2 win he said: "It's a very good day for Germany."

Again there were some surprise results with Great Britain's Campbell Walsh and world number one Peter Kauzer from Slovenia missing out on the final.

"It was pretty rubbish really. I just wasn't fast enough,” said Walsh.

Kauzer was equally as disappointed. "I don't know what happened. I haven't been myself in this competition. I was feeling good going into the semi-final but it just didn't happen on the water."

Both the winners and losers of Sunday's races have their eye on Monday's team events with some hoping to make up for their results today.
