Rui Fernandes, kayak coach, spoke about a year described as very difficult, during which he experienced a moment that conditioned his emotions.
Fernandes is the selector of the K2 500 boats, which achieved the title of world vice-champion, and of the K4 500, which won the bronze medal during a competition in Poland.
The coach's statements come in the context of a demanding season, marked by challenges that affected his emotional state throughout the preparation and competition process.
The results achieved by his teams — world vice-championship in the K2 500 and bronze in the K4 500 in Poland — represent significant achievements despite the difficulties faced during the year.
