Trave and Hocevar impress in World Slalom Juniors

Slalom races are often won by just hundredths of a second, so when Spain’s Miquel Trave and Eva Hocevar (SLO) won World Junior titles each by more than three seconds, it’s worth taking notice.

Trave won the C-1 by 3.84 seconds over Flavio Micozzi of Italy and Hocevar dominated the women’s K-1, winning by 89.67-93.23 over Poland’s Sona Stanovska to highlight the World Junior Slalom Championships in Ivrea (ITA).

Special mention is due to Stanovska, who was the only one to win medals in both the K-1 (second) and C-1 (bronze). Czech Gabriela Satkova won two golds, in the women’s C-1 and then on the C-1 team with Tereza Kneblova. Summaries (click on the link for the World U-23 results also):
