Teams also named for Olympic Hopes Regatta and Canada Cup Tour
MONTRÉAL, QC – Following three days of National Team Trials at the Olympic Basin in Montréal, QC, CanoeKayak Canada is proud to name athletes to compete at the ICF Canoe Sprint Junior and Under 23 World Championships, the Olympic Hopes Regatta and the Canada Cup Tour.
“Based on the performances we saw over the weekend, the future looks bright,” said Scott Logan, CanoeKayak Canada’s High Performance Director. “We’ve been refining the development piece of our high performance program with initiatives like the NextGen Program and the Canada Cup Race Series. Building our talent reserves for the future is all about preparing our up-and-coming athletes and exposing them to high caliber racing opportunities internationally and here in Canada.”
The ICF Canoe Sprint Junior and Under 23 World Championships will take place in Montemor-O-Velho, Portugal from July 24 to 26. The selection process for the U23 Men’s K4 1000m will continue into a training camp and the athletes for that event will be added to the team in the next two weeks. Update: See July 2 team additions
The Olympic Hopes regatta is for athletes up to 17 years of age and is taking place in Bydgoszcz, Poland from September 25 to 27. Athletes selected for the Canada Cup Tour will compete at Canada Cup 2 in Ottawa on June 30 and July 1 as well as the third and final Canada Cup in Dartmouth, NS on July 4 and 5.
