IVF

The IVF 2021 World Distance Championships have been postponed until 2023. While this news is not unexpected, it is hard to see in print. CORA extends its thanks on behalf of Canada’s outrigger community to the organizers and the government of Samoa for their effort and resources they contributed to preparing for the 2021 event. The official IVF announcement is available HERE.

CORA’s IVF committee recognizes the hard work of Canadian paddlers who’ve trained and logged strong individual time trials in preparation for the Samoa championships. All participants, along with the CORA IVF committee, were eager to see the results of putting Canadians in V6s together. We will not get the chance this cycle.

But don’t let this be discouraging. Those who invest in training over the winter for distance and continued base-building will be ready for the preparatory steps of IVF 2022 Sprint Championships in London, to be announced early in the new year. Plans are under way for fall 2021 selection trials for the London 2022 sprints. If you are looking for your next goal, there you go! Base build through the winter, and then go into sprint mode in prep for trials. We thank each and every paddler involved in our selection process for their commitment and effort over the year. We look forward to having you involved in Team Canada selections again soon.

Good luck to the members of Team Canada competing at the 2018 World Sprint Championships in Tahiti. Time to Lock, Load and Launch !

Competition takes place July 19-26. The first 2 days are the Elite Worlds. Countries are allowed 1 entry per elite category and we have an Open crew for men and women for the V6 events. The World Club Championships follow for the next 6 days. Canada has entries in Open through to the 70’s age categories in women’s and men’s. Once again, our kupuna paddlers look strong to bring home some medals. Big thanks to Leanne Stanley for her coaching leading up to the event and of course wishing her the best in her V1 event against the best female paddlers in the world.
Check the CORA Facebook page for pictures and updates from Tahiti. We’re fortunate to have Paul Kendall on the team so expect some great pictures of the action.
