I still love it as much as the first day I started.” I’m not the sort of person who likes to race in small places. “Just coming here to Qingdao, and paddling in this place, there is a very special energy.I really enjoy paddling on the open ocean. I almost fell one time, so I really just had to focus on myself. I was looking back quite a few times, because anything can still happen, even in the last few metres of a race you still can make a mistake. “It was a great race, I had a lot of fun, I felt strong all the way. “I still can’t believe it, I think it has to sink in still, I feel like I’m floating in the clouds,” Honscheid said.

No-one will be able to take that away from me,” Booth said. “It’s awesome to be able to call yourself a world champion, and to be the first ever ICF world champion is pretty special.
