Portugal dominates paracanoeing: Mouro and Baptista claim gold and silver at European Championships
Norberto Mouro claims third European paracanoeing title as Portugal dominates Montemor-o-Velho
Portugal’s paracanoeing team delivered a masterclass at the European Championships in Montemor-o-Velho on Sunday, with Norberto Mourão securing his third consecutive VL 200m title and Messias Baptista adding a silver medal in the K1 200m event. The victories marked Portugal’s third medal of the championships, reinforcing the country’s dominance in adaptive canoeing at continental level.
Mourão, competing in the VL2 category, claimed gold in the 200-metre sprint, extending his unbeaten run in the event to three straight European titles. The 34-year-old veteran, who also won the VL 200m at the 2024 and 2025 editions, now boasts four continental golds in his career, having added the VL 1000m title in 2025. His performance in Montemor-o-Velho underscores his status as one of Europe’s most consistent paracanoeists.
Baptista, meanwhile, secured his second silver of the championships in the K1 200m, finishing just behind the winner in a tightly contested final. The 32-year-old, who claimed his first European silver in the same event last year, now has three medals from these championships alone. His race was described as a “bad start, best finish” by local media, highlighting his ability to recover under pressure .
The double triumph comes as Portugal’s paracanoeing team continues to set the pace at Montemor-o-Velho, where the championships are being held on home soil. Mourão’s victory was confirmed in the morning bulletin, with Baptista’s silver following shortly after .
Both athletes are expected to compete later on Sunday in the K2 500m final, where they will team up in a bid to add another medal to Portugal’s tally. Their performances have already drawn praise from the national federation, which has hailed the championships as a showcase for the country’s depth in adaptive canoeing.
With the European Championships serving as a key preparatory event ahead of next year’s World Championships, Mourão and Baptista’s success sends a strong signal of intent. Their achievements also highlight the growing competitiveness of Portugal’s paracanoeing programme, which has rapidly become a force to be reckoned with in international adaptive sports.
