Our New Zealand Junior and Under 23 team have been busy preparing in Europe for the 2023 ICF Junior & U23 Canoe Sprint World Championships in Auronzo, Italy.
The NZ team has been working hard in the Lake Como District completing their last camp before the main event. They are now well adjusted to the new timezone, enjoying the still, warm conditions and ready to fire! We can’t wait to see them make a splash on lake Cadore, good luck to all the team and the coaches and support staff.
