Biography

Michal Buchtel is a Czech slalom canoeist. Between 2002 and 2011, he competed at an international level where he won the gold medal in the team event at the 2009 World Canoe Slalom Championships.

I started the slalom on a small natural rapid near Carlsbad. This became my training course until I was 17 years old when I moved to Prague and started training at the USK.

His sport

Kayak

Kayaking on the Outdoormix is the basis. And if originally kayaking on the Outdoormix was aimed at the river elite, today it opens its arms to the greatest number of people to simply have fun together in performance!
The principle is simple: to participate in the development of the Extreme Slalom by proposing a technical and fun course as well as a double Mass Start during a grouped descent from Le Rabioux to La Clapière.
Finally, a brand new Down River Freestyle format invented for the occasion will showcase the new Zion Exo* Monotype boats with flat tails in their wide features.
