She took World Championship gold on 1,000 meters a couple of weeks ago. In the canoe marathon World Championship in Györ in Hungary, Melina Andersson struck with a silver in shorttrack – despite having problems with the first lift.
Andersson was ahead of the competitors at the first lift, but had problems when she was about to leave and ended up a bit behind, writes the Swedish Canoe Federation in a press release. But the Norrköping canoeist caught up with the others and was able to cross the finish line as second, three seconds after the Hungarian Zsoka Csikos, in the 3.6 kilometer long race.
