Andorran canoeist Mònica Doria earned three bronze medals at the Run Slalom competition on the French island of La Réunion, finishing third in kayak cross, slalom, and short slalom.
In kayak cross, she placed behind France's Camille Prigent in first and compatriot Marjorie Delassus in second. Doria repeated the podium result in the other two events at the weekend gathering, which drew international competitors. Representing the Andorran Canoe and Kayak Federation (FACC) and Cadí CK, she used the event to build race rhythm and training hours during her preseason stay ahead of the new campaign.
Meanwhile, Andorra's young paddlers kicked off their season with strong results at the First Catalan Slalom Cup, held over the weekend at Parc Olímpic del Segre in La Seu d'Urgell.
In the junior category, Ona Perelegre claimed gold in both canoe (C1) and K1. Among cadets, Nil Checa secured bronze in C1 and gold in K1—his time in the latter good enough to contend for a junior podium spot.
These outings signal promising early form for Andorran canoeing as preparations ramp up.
