REALIZE THE DREAM -
2016!
Olympic Inclusion for Womens Canoe
WHAT IS THE ISSUE?
Canoe/Kayak
is the LAST Summer Olympic sport which does not offer equal events for women as the men in all disciplines - sprint (flatwater) or slalom (whitewater). There are Men's Canoe events but women are still excluded from Olympic Canoeing. (Over)Time for change! See
ICF letter to Federations.
