Australian Canoeing Joins the Social Networking World
Sam Lyons, Thursday, 2 July 2009Australian Canoeing now has a presence on Twitter and Facebook to add to its YouTube channel.

So please "Follow" our feed on Twitter at http://twitter.com/AusCanoe or become a "Fan" of us on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Australian-Canoeing/126160049304 If you have any feedback or comments then please email Sam at sam.lyons@canoe.org.au, give us a call on 02 8116 9727, leave us a PM (personal message) on Twitter or leave a comment on our Facebook page.

Finals positions up for grabs in France
David Polglase, Sunday, 28 June 2009Four Australians are chasing places in the finals of their respective events at the ICF Slalom World Cup 1 in Pau, France. Leanne Guinea and Rosalyn Lawrence were the first Australians in action on the second day of competition, with both girls already assured of a place in the final of the C1. With only four competitors contesting the inaugural staging of the discipline, Guinea will carry the number one ranking into the final after recording a time of 159.74. Lawrence meanwhile suffered a 50 second penalty to be ranked fourth heading into the afternoon final, but with scores being wiped after each round, is more than capable of mounting a challenge in the final. Kate Lawrence missed out on qualifying for the final of the women's K1. Lawrence, who won gold in the final world cup event in 2008, had suffered a disrupted buildup due to illness and recorded a semi-final run of 125.91. with two seconds of penalties to finish in 15th position. Robin Bell finished in 16th place in the semi-final of the men's C1 to also miss out on a place in the ten person final.

Whitewater kings line up for first World Cup
David Polglase, Thursday, 25 June 2009The Australian Canoe Kayak slalom team has finalised their preparations ahead of the season opening World Cup 1 this weekend in Pau, France. The 10 member squad touched down in Europe a little under two weeks ago to complete a pre event training camp and have now arrived at the venue for the start of the competition. Coming off the back of its most successful Olympic campaign in 2008, where Australia won two medals, the new squad is full of both youth and experience. Robin Bell (WA), who contemplated retirement after his bronze medal in the men’s C1, has decided to paddle on and will lead the Australian charge in that discipline. Joining Bell in the men’s C1 will be fellow West Australian Robin Jeffery and Ian Borrows (NSW). Kate Lawrence (NSW) will push for her second world cup gold medal after claiming victory in World Cup 3 in 2008. The paddler from northern NSW will line up alongside younger sister Rosalyn Lawrence and Victorian Sarah Grant in the women’s K1. Rosalyn Lawrence will also compete in the women’s C1 with fellow debutant Leanne Guinea (VIC). The women’s C1 is being contested at world cup level for the first time and will make its debut at the World Championships in 2010. Meanwhile Will Forsythe (NSW), Warwick Draper (VIC) and Anthony Brown (NSW) will compete in the men’s K1. Draper will aim to build on his fifth place finish at the Olympics, while Forsythe will be confident of success after claiming a silver medal at the World Series event in Australia in January. The course in France is new for all paddlers and will therefore provide an open contest. Racing commences on Saturday evening Australian time with the qualification runs in all classes, before the finals are contested on Sunday night.

Register your Interest for a Melbourne Whitewater Stadium
Sam Lyons, Monday, 18 May 2009Recently the Federal Government announced that the Commonwealth Department of Defence Explosives Factory site in Maribyrnong will be sold to the Victorian Government for development into a Residential Community. The site will be subject to an extensive remediation process to clean and deliver the site to the Victorian Government. Recently the Federal Government announced that the Commonwealth Department of Defence Explosives Factory site in Maribyrnong will be sold to the Victorian Government for development into a Residential Community. The site will be subject to an extensive remediation process to clean and deliver the site to the Victorian Government. Vic Urban will assume responsibility for the design, implementation and delivery of the development. The initial phase of the planning process is to develop a Master Plan for the site. This process will happen through the remainder of 2009. At a very recent meeting with the Director of Urban Design for Vic Urban, I submitted a Concept Plan for a whitewater stadium to be located adjacent to a portion of the extensive Maribyrnong River frontage that the site enjoys and generally located within the area in the photo above. If a whitewater stadium is to be located on this site it must be included into the Master Plan. In order to maximise our presence and demonstrate a high level of interest it is now imperative to register your interest for the development with Vic Urban. If you are at all interested in the realization of a whitewater stadium for Melbourne then register your interest via the Vic Urban website using the link below. If we demonstrate a high level of interest then we maximise our opportunity to be incorporated into the Master Plan. If we cannot demonstrate that interest, it will not happen. This will only be the first step in the process to deliver a whitewater stadium, but no journey can begin without the first step.

Australia to Host the 2009 Wildwater World Cup Series.
Sam Lyons, Wednesday, 14 May 2008The International Canoe Federation Board has confirmed that Australia has been awarded the running of all 6 Wildwater World Cup races, in Tasmania, in October/November 2009. The World Cup races, comprising 3 x Classic and 3 x Sprint races, will form a World Cup series, to be run by Canoe Tasmania on Tasmanian rivers, ranging from the Mersey to Bradys lakes and Cataract Gorge
Each federation can field 6 boats in each of the 4 race categories - Men's K1, Women's K1, Men's C2 and Men's C1. Over recent seasons, Australia has sent World Cup and World Championships teams comprising Men's K1 and Women's K1 paddlers only. There are significant opportunities for Australian paddlers to seek selection in all disciplines, but particularly in Men's C2 and C1 and Women's K1 where there are not currently the full complement of 6 competitive Australian boats in each class.
The path to selection in the 2009 Australian World Cup Team is via the 2008 National Championships in Victoria this September, leading on to selection races at the 2009 National Championships in Tasmania in January 2009.
Current selection percentages are 110% for Men's K1, 120% for Women's K1, 120% for Men's C2 and 125% for Men's C1, though these will be reviewed later in the year, subject to Australian performances at the World Championships in Ivrea, Italy and World Cup races being held in the Czech Republic and Austria.
This is a great honor for Australia, being only the second time a Wildwater World Cup race has been held in the Southern Hemisphere. This is also a great opportunity for Australian athletes to compete on their local course without the huge logistical, time and financial imposts of competing in Europe.
