The infamous Wellerbrücke rapids in Ötztal, Austria, are once again the worthy stage for the adidas Sickline Extreme Kayak World Championship. For the tenth anniversary edition of the event 175 of the world’s best kayakers from 33 different countries have gathered to find the sickest line on the challenging race course. The relatively high water levels already guaranteed fast times in an exciting series of knock-out rounds, and with a new course record of 53,80 seconds set by multiple Freestyle World Champion Dane Jackson in the semi-final, the battle for the prestigious sickline belt in the final is going to be a close one.
