Peter Hochschorner

Peter Hochschorner (born 7 September 1979)[1] is a retired Slovak slalom canoeist who competed at the international level from 1996 to 2017.

Competing together with his twin brother Pavol Hochschorner, they are the most successful C2 paddlers in the history of canoe slalom.

[4] Hochschorner won the overall World Cup title 10 times (1999–2004, 2006–2008 and 2011) with his twin brother, which is a record in any category.

In 2002 they won their first World Championship gold in Bourg Saint Maurice, winning the individual C2 event.

They were able to defend their title after posting the fastest times in both qualifying runs as well as the semifinal and then maintaining their advantage in the final.

Their unbeaten streak ended at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, where they were beaten by both British boats, but still came away with a bronze medal.
