Paddle Worldwide

Opened 15 years ago, the venue hosted Canoe Slalom competition at London 2012 and has become one of Great Britain’s most successful Olympic legacy sites.  

Montgomery, United States and Duisburg, Germany will become key stops on the road to Los Angeles 2028 after the International Canoe Federation confirmed both venues as hosts of Olympic Ranking events. 

The International Canoe Federation has entered an exciting chapter in its long history with the official opening of its new headquarters in Budapest, Hungary.

Titled “Stronger Together: Athlete Brands for Purpose and Legacy”, the workshop, held before the 2025 ICF Slalom World Championships in Sydney, was delivered in collaboration with Paddle Australia and led by Vickie Saunders, founder of The Athlete Brand Builder. 

The International Canoe Federation is joining forces with the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) to support the growing demand for global emergency response capabilities and promote sustainable development.
