Unofficial UK Slalom BBS

Just had to write - absolutely LOVE the picture of Adam Burgess with the wee paddler in the front - fabulous guys - well done !

What a great experience for a young paddler to paddle with the likes of Adam - really great !

I'd second that - well done Chris and thank you!

Oh for goodness sake I wasn't suggesting that this debate move to UKRG - it was info for Silver Surfer in response to his query All I suggested - and Silver Surfer has kindly done so - is to remove the crux of this debate from being directed at the current Junior GB team by changing the thread title...

Silver surfer Thanks for changing the thread name - that does help your point about not targeting individuals The only other public forum board I know of is on UK Rivers Guide - on their community forum under competition http://www.ukriversguidebook.co.uk/forum/viewforum.php?f=14&sid=2375080688bfa97...

You will note in my post I was very careful to say: If there is an issue with the IP and how selection is or is not made then that is a topic for debate ... However I still feel this is better discussed in a post away from the successes of the current juniors. This is a time when ALL of them should ...

Many congratulations to all the GB Junior team members - well done! If there is an issue with the IP and how selection is or is not made then that is a topic for debate - but can we do it away from the successes of the recently selected Junior team members They too probably read this chatter Board a...

I think judging at Tully was quite difficult on some sections because of the height of waves etc. What tends to happen is where possible, section judges up stream and down stream of such a section will do their best to try and spot "difficult" gates wherever possible. However there is also a relianc...

But don't do so unless you are willing to sit on the river bank judging/ timing etc for the extended period in wind/ rain/ snow/ Washburn midgies etc. As any changes to the timing will affect how long after the event all officials have to stay put and when prize giving can take place ;-) Hang on a ...

Not a rant or rave - but maybe a rave

Just thanks for putting up the Paddler method for protest and also the jury method - very clear, very helpful and hopefully clears up some misconceptions

Thanks team!

Much appreciated!

As a point of principle I don't think any sport should be asked to forego an event - the IOC and ICF need to be lobbied not to remove any existing ones:) Sprint is a bit muddied any way as they changed a lot of the classes for 2012: Removed: Men C1 500m, Men C2 500m, Men K1 500m and Men K2 500m) Add...

I am not totally sure - but I thought cycling had a net gain of one event ? As you point out boxing also had a net gain too - 3 womens events gained, 2 mens events lost So adding an additional event in canoe slalom is just that - a net gain of one event. I am sure (hope) that there are influential f...

I wonder if the IOC and the ICF could successfully defend a call that what they are proposing is gender discrimination? That is, allowing the introduction of a new event (quite right!) which is gender specific while dropping an event that is - while, and I am guessing here a bit, is also gender spec...

Hopefully there will be suitable lobbying from the various canoeing associations to retain C2 as well as opening the sport up to C1W Whilst the IOC has a line that there can be no more places or medals - this is patently not the case given the fact other "new" sports appear at the Olympics from time...

Come on people

the committee cant arrange races into the calendar that haven't been put forward

Maybe a couple of clubs could get together and organise a couple more?
