The Hungarian quartet reached the finals on Saturday by excluding the Dutch quartet from the jury due to a foul.
The Hungarian world leader and Olympic champion, who leads the World Cup standings on this issue, this time stood without Alexander Liu Shaolin. For a long time they “traveled” in the last fifth, but with Krueger overtaking and the Italians slipping, the Hungarian relay came third. Although there were several promising twists and turns in the sequel, the Canadian and South Korean quartet failed to outshine.
So far, the Hungarians have taken the podium in all three World Cup rounds, but have not been able to win and, overall, are back in second place, behind the Canadians who have won the last two races.
It was already decided on Friday that the Hungarian women’s 3,000-meter relay race would not reach the semi-finals. In this issue, the world-leading Dutch quartet triumphed, and Susan Scholting was awarded four gold medals in Debrecen.
In the men’s and women’s editions, the top eight teams in the final will win a share of five episodes.
