Unofficial UK Slalom BBS

That's only relevant to the elite paddlers, not something that should shape the rest of the sport perhaps?

Excellent post, very good points. As an ex-slalom paddler from the 80's the talk has been of decline ever since. Yet we've had paddlers winning top flight medals consistently since then.

Regarding media exposure, does a sport like slalom need it, or is enjoying participation enough?

This isn't really the appropriate platform for these sorts of issues.

Deal with it offline please guys.

Well deserved!

Awesome finish to the week from the sprint guys, brilliant

Interesting post Nick, I didn't realise we helped pay for the Sydney course! Really sad they didn't reinstate the athlete places.

Fantastic results! Wow!

Made it to Lee Valley today and it was brilliant. Richard struggled but the racing was superb. Heartbreaking to see competitors getting 50's. Proper highs and lows.

That cross-bow was quite special - glad I wasn't the only one to notice it!

Congrats to Richard and David after raising stress levels with their first runs. Good luck tomorrow.

Just watching the opening ceremony ... wow!

Everyone excited yet? Go Team GB!

They were gone by this morning despite the eye watering price
