The World Championships in wildwater canoeing began in Oklahoma City, where the Slovenian team failed to qualify for the elimination rounds in the individual cross race. Three Slovenian athletes—Eva Alina Hočevar, Žiga Lin Hočevar, and Lea Novak—made mistakes during qualification runs and were unable to advance further in this discipline. Žiga Lin Hočevar was penalized by judges for a mistake on the course, finishing last in the men’s qualifiers. On the women’s side, Eva Alina Hočevar finished behind Australian Jessica Fox, who set the fastest time, while Lea Novak had a much larger deficit. Despite these results, Slovenia will still have representatives competing in other disciplines at the championships.
