Zach Lokken of Durango, Colorado, competes at the whitewater slalom world cup event at Prague this past weekend. By finishing eighth in the men's C1 class, Lokken edged out three-time Olympian Casey Eichfeld for a berth in the Olympic Games at Tokyo next month. Photo by Jean Folger.
Michal Smolen of Bryson City, North Carolina, clinched the U.S. Olympic men's kayak berth with a fifth-place finish at Prague. And so, the U.S. Olympic Canoe and Kayak Team is now set. As I mentioned in this post back on the 19th of April, Evy Leibfarth of Bryson City will compete in the women's slalom C1 and K1 classes, while female C1 paddler Nevin Harrison of Gig Harbor, Washington, will race in the flatwater sprint regatta.
