Peter Kauzer (born 8 September 1983) is a Slovenian slalom canoeist who has competed at the international level since 1999.

Career

Kauzer at the 2016 European Canoe Slalom Championships

Kauzer has competed at four Summer Olympics. He finished 13th in the K1 event at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing after being eliminated in the semi-finals. Four years later at the London games he was one of the top favorites for gold in the K1 event. He made the final after recording the fastest time in the semi-final, but after a disappointing run in the final he could only finish in sixth place.[1] He was also the Slovenian flag-bearer at the London games.[2] He won his first Olympic medal, a silver in the K1 event, at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. He then finished 12th in the K1 event at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo after being eliminated in the semi-final.

He won six medals at the ICF Canoe Slalom World Championships with two golds (K1: 2009,[3] 2011[4]) and four bronzes (K1: 2017, K1 team: 2005, 2017, 2021).

Kauzer won the overall World Cup title in 2009, 2011 and 2015 in K1. At the European Championships he has won a total of 13 medals (6 golds, 4 silvers and 3 bronzes).[5][6][7][8] Kauzer finished the 2009 season as the World No. 1 in the K1 event.[9]
