 Weekly news roundup 10th July 2015 – PDF which includes photos and links.

Sprint:

Been a hard few days racing! With a 9th in the 1000m and 7th in the 500m in the K4. Competition is tough and pushing limits is an understatement! The junior team would like to thank the guys at home for the support! Keep an eye out for them at their next competition in Portugal on the 23/07/15 at the ICF Junior and U23 Sprint Worlds


Slalom:

National Governing Bodies of Sport in Ireland and the athletes whom they represent, rely heavily on the advice and support of both the Irish Sports Council and the Irish Institute of Sport to enable them to undertake their international programmes in the best possible way. This is a very good video which shows just how this works in practice in canoeing terms and is well worth Liking and Sharing to get that message across.

When people look at an athlete, they see one person. But elite athletes actually need lots of support so that they can focus on performance. And at the Institute of Sport, we are 100% behind athletes.
In this video, Canoe Slalom Olympic competitor Eoin Rheinisch talks about how the Institute’s support system helped transform his competitive career. And how it’s still helping him today in his role as a coach to future generations.

Surf:

The Kayaksurf Team have just returned from the world champs in Galicia, Spain.

It has been a great trip for all.

As a team, we progressed with great scores through the Team days (a savage amount of 1st and 2nd places during the heats) to secure our place in the finals. We really excelled early in the week when a large swell and big waves were present.

We ended up in 4th, and returning with a trophy and medals. A massive achievement for our team, 4 of whom only started Kayaksurf at the Club champs, a sure sign that our focus on development and the recently introduced Paddlesurf Syllabus is working.

The event was incredible, a consistent wave, great atmosphere and fantastic activities to accompany the surfing. Many Thanks to Ivan Pena and the Xtreme Pantin organizing team.

This has been an amazing experience, and has set the groundwork for the next World Champs in Portrush, Northern Ireland in 2017
