Max Brown and Kurtis Imrie are set to make their Olympic debuts after earning selection to the men\u2019s K2 1000m boat for the Tokyo Games.
\u00a0
The pair were officially announced today at Lake Karapiro as the first New Zealand canoe sprint paddlers to earn selection for Tokyo.
\u00a0
Brown and Imrie enjoyed a breakthrough international campaign in 2019 \u2013 placing eighth in the K2 1000m A Final at the World Cup in Poznan, Poland.
\u00a0
Later that year the duo\u00a0finished joint sixth in the B Final of the K2 1000m at the World Championships in Szeged, Hungary before qualifying\u00a0a New Zealand boat for the Tokyo Olympics via the 2020 Oceania Championships in Sydney, Australia.
\u00a0
For both paddlers, Olympic selection is rich reward for a competitive kayaking career spanning more than a decade.
\u00a0
Brown, 26, who originally hails from Whanganui, grew up playing in bands and also enjoyed big mountain skiing before taking up paddling at the age of 15.
\u00a0
Making his international debut in 2013, Brown later graduated with a Bachelor in Music from the NZ School of Music at Victoria, Wellington.
\u00a0
Struggling with injuries for several years he returned to the international stage in 2018 and has gradually developed into one of the leading paddlers in the New Zealand men\u2019s squad.
\u00a0
Brown said of booking his spot on the Olympic team for Tokyo: \u201cI\u2019m absolutely stoked to have been selected to represent New Zealand at the Olympic Games. As a young kid I would never have dreamed I would be good enough to challenge at this level.
\u00a0
\u201cI always felt like I had the least amount of talent with the boys I trained with, but I was prepared to be the hardest worker. I guess that\u2019s what matters most, and that’s the reason I\u2019ve made it this far. I hope lots of young Kiwis take inspiration in my journey and dare to dream.\u201d
\u00a0
Imrie, 25, the younger brother of Kayla, a 2016 Rio Olympic paddler and three-time World Championship medallist, is a former surf lifesaver who took up the sport of kayaking aged \u201c15 or 16\u201d with the Mana Club in Wellington.
\u00a0
A paddler of rich promise, he placed fifth in the A final of the K1 1000m at the 2014 World Junior Championships before later stepping up and forming an impressive combination with Brown.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

In 2019 he also grabbed a K1 500m bronze medal at the World U23 Championships in Romania. He currently also works two days a week as an apprentice electrician.
\u00a0
Kurtis added: \u201cIt\u2019s always been a dream to go to the Olympics and represent my country at the world\u2019s pinnacle sporting event. It\u2019s pretty surreal that a big dream of mine is actually coming true. Hopefully I\u2019ll get to experience the Olympics alongside my big sister Kayla as that would be such a special moment for our family.\u201d
\u00a0
CRNZ CEO, Tom Ashley said \u201cThis men\u2019s K2 selection is a huge moment for Max and Kurtis, but equally it\u2019s an enormous milestone for our squad, their coaches and our outstanding support staff. When the squad moved to Cambridge together three years ago, qualifying a men\u2019s boat for the Olympics was a dream. Together, through teamwork and commitment, the group has made it happen. We congratulate the entire squad on their part in this achievement and we look forward to watching Max and Kurtis race in Tokyo.\u201d
\u00a0
NZOC CEO Kereyn Smith extended her congratulations to the athletes.
\u00a0
\u201cWell done on your selection to the New Zealand Team. New Zealand has an extremely proud canoe racing history at the Olympic Games and we look forward to you adding to that legacy in Tokyo,\u201d said Smith.
\u00a0
The pair are both coached at Lake Karapiro by 2008 K1 1000m Olympic champion Tim Brabants.
\u00a0
Brown and Imrie will be New Zealand\u2019s first men\u2019s K2 1000m representatives since Darryl Fitzgerald and Steven Ferguson placed seventh in the A Final at the 2012 London Olympics.
\u00a0
New Zealand has won one Olympic medal in the men\u2019s K2 1000m when Ian Ferguson and Paul MacDonald snared silver at the 1988 Seoul Olympics.
\u00a0
The New Zealand women\u2019s canoe sprint team for the Tokyo Olympics will be selected closer to Games time.<\/p>
