Val di Sole, Italy – Day two of the World Rafting Cup turned the dial all the way up, with RX qualifications in the morning and a wild Downriver race in the afternoon. The energy? Off the charts.
The RX Quali lit up the course with head-to-head intensity, as teams fought for seeding in tomorrow’s Knockout Phase. In Senior Men, Japan posted the fastest time of the session, earning that top seed and a serious psychological edge.
The Women’s field was just as fierce. Italylooked tuned from the first gate to the last, locking down the number one spot.
And then came the Mixed and Para squads, where strategy meets raw teamwork. Italian teams dominated the podium in both categories. Expect fireworks between them when the knockouts go live.
Then came the Downriver — a full send from start to finish. No tactics, just grit. Japan took the win in Senior Men, grinding it out from the top, while in Senior Women, it was Italy who handled the long line best. Also in the Mixed, Italy pulled off a gritty performance to cross the line first, and in Para still - Italy capped off the day with a big result, proving their strength across all formats.
Now the RX Knockouts go live. No resets, no second runs. Just raw, head-to-head battles until the best are left standing.
Val di Sole’s putting on a show and the river’s not letting anyone off easy. See you on the line.
