Thunderstorms hit Munich and European Championship programme

A number of events have been rescheduled to Sunday 

A number of events at the European Championship were postponed on Saturday due to inclement weather conditions.  The weather forecast for Munich suggests a clearing of the skies in the coming hours.

Heavy rain and thunderstorms have hit the multi-sport European Championships in Munich with Jenny Egan-Simmons’ K1 5,000m final among the events to have been affected.

The canoe sprint programme had just three races still to run when the postponement was called and it has now been confirmed that it will be Sunday before the athletes can get out on the water.
