Career

Kauzer has competed at three Summer Olympics. He finished 13th in the K1 event at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing after being eliminated in the semifinals. 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 semifinal, 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 won five medals at the ICF Canoe Slalom World Championships with two golds (K1: 2009,[3] 2011[4]) and three bronzes (K1: 2017, K1 team: 2005, 2017).
Kauzer won the overall World Cup title in 2009, 2011 and 2015 in K1. At the European Championships he won a total of 12 medals (6 golds, 4 silvers and 2 bronzes).[5][6][7][8]
