Scottish Athletes selected to 2024 Kayak Cross teams
Apr 11, 2024
Big congratulations to the Scottish athletes selected to the 2024 Kayak Cross teams which were announced last week!
Two hotly contested days of racing during the Kayak Cross Selection Series at Lee Valley White Water Centre led to 22 athletes being named across the Senior, U23 and Junior teams for the 2024 season.
Athletes faced off in three rounds of racing on Easter Sunday and Monday, which consisted of a time-trial before going head to head on the challenging course to earn selection points. This year marks a significant milestone for kayak cross as it prepares for its Olympic debut in Paris 2024, adding an extra layer of excitement to the season.
