The Appeal of Wildwater
A widely-followed sport, Wildwater is often used as a gateway to Canoe Sprint and many famous athletes have crossed into the Olympic Discipline via Wildwater, including 2009 World Champion, Max Hoff (GER). The pervading attraction to the sport however has to be its attachment to nature. In no other sport can athletes get so close to the wild as they do on a canoe and the test of skill, strength and agility combined with a foray down a natural and wild river makes Wildwater Canoeing one of the ICF’s most compelling sports.
