Excitement is building for the New Zealand Canoe Sprint and Paracanoe teams first chance at Olympic & Paralympic qualifications.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The team is making their final preparations in France ahead of next week\u2019s ICF Canoe Sprint and Paracanoe World Championships in Duisburg, Germany.<\/span><\/p>\n

With this event being the only chance to qualify the K4 (four-person kayak) 500m, pressure is mounting but the Kiwi men\u2019s and women\u2019s team are ready to make their mark. If New Zealand were to qualify both a men\u2019s and women\u2019s K4 for the Paris 2024 Olympics it would be a historic first for the team.<\/span><\/p>\n

The K1 and K2 (two-person kayak) will have another chance to qualify boats at the Oceania Championships in March 2024. While the Paracanoe athletes will also get another shot at qualifications at a World Cup next year.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
