“Very good. We had 6 crews, 5 reached the final. Out of the 5 teams that made it, we won 3 medals and I can say the result is really good,” M. Masilionis told 15min.
There was definitely reason to be happy with the result. Compared to the European Championship held in June 2025, the current result is much better.
Last year there were no medals, but this year their number increased by three. M. Masilionis said there is a solid reason for this.
