Its been a long time since my last update, I'm ashamed... too many races, too much traveling, fun, friends, school, finishing my BA degree ... Anyway, the very last race of the season - University World Champs in Bratislava - is over... And finally Ive won some bigger race! :)
On Sunday the slalom race was only one hour after the sprint one. It was about 8 degrees and very windy!! For me that meant that I was cold since I went to warm up at 8:30 a.m and had no time to be stressed before my slalom race. In the end it has showed as a good tactics cause I won with two solid runs without making any bigger mistake... soooo stoked!!
1st - Dana Beňušová 241.43 (4)
2nd - Jana Dukátová +03.04
3rd - Bouzidi Carole +03.65
here are my slalom results:

In C1 my brother Matej Beňuš finished 2nd behind well paddling Alexander Slafkovský, followed by French Pierre Laberelle in the 3rd place.
Cousins Škantar-Škantar won the C2 category. In K1 men dominated Mateusz Polaczyk in front of the 2006 world champion Stefano Cipressi, in 3rd came Natmessnig Herwig.
In downriver sprint I finished 2nd +03.14 behind French Malaterre Sixtine, 3rd was Italian paddler Merola Andrea. My result was pretty surprising for me, especially after all the Czech favourites failed to race well...
In K1 men local slalom paddler Marcel Potočný kicked everybody's ass and won!! My brother finished on the fine 8th place - although he is normally paddling C1.

Nantahala race 22 - 23. 03.
Nantahala je rieka v Great Smoky Mountains blizko Bryson city. To znamena, ze po ranu som si musela zlomit neoprenky, ako boli zmrznute, ale cez den bolo okolo 22 stupnov. Voda bola ladova asi ako na Podbanskom, ale bolo tam krasne. S pretekmi som skoro spokojna, hlavne s dvoja cistymi jazdami a bez nejakej vyraznej chyby... Obidva dni som vyhrala, aj ked samozrejme sa da ist vzdy lepsie a rychlejsie...
tu je moje video z druhej jazdy v nedelu:

preteky 16. 3. Charlotte
Tento vikend sa uskutocnili v Charlotte dalsie preteky. Vecerny sobotny slalom bohuzial zrusili pre hroznu burku, blesky (podla nejakeho ich zakona nemozu byt blesky ked jazdime na vode) a tiez nejake 2 tornada boli asi 3 hod od nas... V nedelu uz bolo krasne teplo, modra obloha, vsetko v poriadku, preteky boli. Mezi K1W som bola 1. pred Z. Vanhou a J. Tidmore asi o 16 sek, cakala by som viac, kedze tu bola cela repre z Kanady aj z USA a este k tomu na domacej trati... Prva jazda bola naozaj vydarena, cisto, bohuzial v druhej som si 2x tukla a zhorsila sa o 5 sek kvoli jednej povodnej branke, kde som si musela dat R. Ale aj oproti inym kategoriam som mala dobre casy, takze spokojnost... K1M vyhral nesmrtelny D. Ford, ostatne kategorie si nepamatam, ked budu vysledky online, dam sem link.
Celkovo je tu vyborne az na nejake ulety ako ked som si musela vcera vecer ist domov pre pas, aby mi predali pivo - ked som im ukazala moj slovensky obcanak, tak mila teta mi tvrdila, ze je falosny a ze som si ho sama doma vytlacila a podobne veci...
Najblizsie preteky su buduci tyzden v Nantahala na prirodnej rieke, uz od stredy tam ideme trenovat, potom 5 dni v Charlotte a dom!
Video z pretekov coming soon...
