I can't see how anything but a 2 could be given.
Ditto - just keep at it lads- lightening can't strike twice??!!
Some great C2 paddling at Bala - a pleasure to watch.

Wow. That is a huge loss.
Probably the selection nightmare week end did not help. Still think that there has to be a better way to select the GB team than one week end at Nottingham - best 3 out of first 4 prems for example.
All good wishes to you Helen. You did us proud in Athens.

There was a 'reply to message' button. It isn't there now - just a 'complain about the message'. - same on the points of view forum.

This sounds like an isolated incident. Always found that both types of paddling gets on well and usually a gate on the muncher is avoided during busy periods.
Lets make up!!

Well done indeed to all the successful paddlers – exciting racing on tough courses. A constructive comment though on the selection process, which is surely meant to select the people most likely to win medals at International races. Being ‘best on the day’ when an act of God knobbles the opposition...

A breath of wind cost our best lady her place in the GB team and GB its best chance of medals. Helen's paddling looked so strong and her first result so far ahead of the field. Then a 50 in the 2nd race (that notorious up right below the office) and a cruel wind in the 3rd and its all over. Not sur...

Does anyone know why ski slalom for instance can have entries from each country - the Swiss apparently chose not to enter in the women's slalom but could have sent youngsters for the experience - but in canoe slalom each country has to win its place(s)?
