The 2009 Selection Criteria for Sprint and Slalom senior teams will not be available until after the International Canoe Federation Congress, which is taking place in Rome, Italy on November 28/29, 2008. At this Congress there are many important rules changes in both Olympic disciplines that will be reviewed and voted on. These rules changes could dramatically affect how we select our teams and what/how they will be racing internationally. Once the Congress has been completed, the Sprint and Slalom Selection Committee's will review the changes and complete development of the Selection Criteria. These criteria will be made available on this website just as soon as this process has been completed.
