Strides in Canoing for Vekaiyu
Reporting for V3 News Services, Rin Slakori
BARTEWICK - While Vekaiyun canoe athletes generally placed last in all of their events during the 2011 Summer Olympics in Lasft, Cafundeu, they managed to grab three medals in the first day of the championships.
The day started off with the Men's K-1 500m, where Lokalo Resimeri finished last in his group time, but his time was still enough to qualify for the final round, which he placed silver in with a time of 1:24.3, an improvement of about 2.5 seconds from his first round. The improvement was the sharpest within the entire group, and showed the athlete has much promise for future competitions.
Vekaiyu also took bronzes in the Men's K-2 500m event as the combined efforts of Yiisu Spisharvenske and Viktor Uslenavre finished amidst a slew of other competitors, as second through sixth place finished within one second of each other. Later in the day, Kesi Iglavosvi grabbed bronze in the Women's K-1 1000m event after finishing inches ahead of Catalina Batista from San Vicente Lagoa.
It has been understood that the schedule changes happened as a result of weather causing authorities to postpone certain events. While the Vekaiyun Olympic Committee and the athletes sponsored have refrained from any complaints, one Vekaiyun business, Imokolis, is apparently organizing a sales pitch to the Civil Citizenry faithful to build aquatic arenas similar to what have been built in various Vekaiyun cities, notably Calesu and Iliesa, where some of the most innovative facilities are located.
"Vekaiyun aquatic arenas are certainly superior when it comes to spectating and hosting aquatic events. Like other Vekaiyun companies, we have recently been looking to expanding our business internationally, and do our best to cater to the needs of the facilities as well as take into consideration cultural aspects that make any establishment unique and exclusive to the city of interest."
