The Portuguese canoeing duo, composed of João Ribeiro and Messias Baptista, won the world vice-championship title in the K2 500 meters event. This victory represents another important achievement for the two athletes on the international scene of the sport.
The silver medal joins another silver medal won by the duo last year, demonstrating the consistency and high level of performance maintained over time.
In addition to these silver medals, the two Portuguese canoeists had already reached the top of the world podium, by winning the event in 2023, in Germany, which highlights their trajectory of success at the world championship of this discipline.
