Qualify both a mens and womens K4 (four-person kayak) boat for the Olympics.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">New Zealand are aiming to have a full team at the Olympics, with a maximum of 6 men\u2019s kayak and 6 women\u2019s kayak quota available as per ICF rules. This could mean up to 5 boats racing in male and female kayak events \u2013 one K4, two K2 and two K1.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the Paracanoe, each nation can qualify one athlete per discipline. New Zealand paracanoe paddlers Scott Martlew, Corbin Hart and Peter Cowan are hoping to secure their spots for the Paris 2024 Paralympics in the Men\u2019s KL2, KL3 and VL3 200m events. There is one final qualifying opportunity for Paracanoe events at the 2024 World Cup in Szeged.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-5279\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uptest.co.nz\/canoeracing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Peter_Cowan_Paracanoe_Szeged-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"525\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uptest.co.nz\/canoeracing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Peter_Cowan_Paracanoe_Szeged-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.uptest.co.nz\/canoeracing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Peter_Cowan_Paracanoe_Szeged-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.uptest.co.nz\/canoeracing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Peter_Cowan_Paracanoe_Szeged-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.uptest.co.nz\/canoeracing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Peter_Cowan_Paracanoe_Szeged-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.uptest.co.nz\/canoeracing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Peter_Cowan_Paracanoe_Szeged-2048x1366.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 525px) 100vw, 525px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>All On the Line for K4 Boats to Qualify at the World Championships<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\nFor the K4 boat class, the 2023 World Championships is the only qualifying regatta for participation in the 2024 Olympics Games\u00a0 in Paris from 26 July to 11 August 2024.
