2014 ICF Canoe Slalom World Cup held at Lee Valley White Water Centre. Purpose built for the 2012 London Olympics and its still a world class venue.

2014 ICF Canoe Slalom World Cup was held over 6th, 7th and 8th of June 2014. I was there for the final day to cover the womans K1 kayak finals and the men’s C2 canoe doubles.

Canoeing is such a dynamic sport to cover. Where you can get close to the action even as a spectator. So its all about capturing the athletes expressions and the action. Just what I like!

I posted another image of Jessica on Facebook here 

I did witness a moment of history. Lu Li the first Chinese canoeist to win a major world canoe title.

And so onto the Mens C2 Doubles. Often referred to as the most exciting class in canoeing. With plenty of British interest with no less than 3 teams in the final.

But it was the Slovakian pairing of Luka Bozic and Saso Taljat that came out ontop.

 

So I really enjoyed the day and especially the sport. All my images are syndicated by SportPix so please take a look.
