Another great performance Pre World Championships Tacen SLO

Pre World Championships Tacen SLO

Mike Dawson set his sights high after an impressive result in Bratislava the week before. In Tacen qualifications he nailed the course heading into his second run in fourth place out of a field of 114 K1M a sure start for the semi finals the following day. Unfortunately the calibre of the competitors says it all when Dawson missed out on a top 20 semis spot by 100th/s going into 22nd place overall after second runs. With such a strong field the racing is tight and errors are costly. Dawson had the 2nd fastest split time on the course but slightly off line in the second half of the course caused the time lapse which took him out of the semis. Dawson while disappointed not making the semis also realised with the top 15-25 competitors within one second of each other the game is highly competitive.
