Durangoan Zach “Bug” Lokken helped accomplish something no American has in almost two decades: win a gold medal in the C1 men’s team race at the International Canoe Federation Canoe Slalom World Cup Final on Aug. 16 in Augsburg, Germany.
Lokken, son of Angela and Eric Lokken, teamed with two-time Olympian Casey Eichfeld and two-time Olympic medalist Fabien Lefevre to garner just one 2-second penalty during the winning run.
They were seeded third after the semifinals and jumped into first on the final run.
Lokken could not be reached for comment.
