None of the finalists are from the DR, but they all live, work and paddle there...some for more then 20 years, others not so long.
The Germans paddled 'Strong' with Jens Baur as the only German to advance. Marcus Bohm paddled well and was competitive but failed to advance.
The Swiss had good strategy, Solo Slivinsky did well in his first heat but ran out of gas in the later heat and failed to advance.
American John Holzhall passed his first heat and won the second heat to advance to the finals.
Canadians Gordon Gannon and Glenn Goodwin advanced through to the finals putting Canada in good position to win it all tomorrow.
