WORDS OF WELCOME
Dear canoeing friends,
It is a great pleasure to invite you to the 2018 ICF Canoe Slalom World Cup race in Ljubljana – Tacen. A rich history of canoeing in Slovenia which expands over the last 85 years and is full of success both on competitive and organisational level is a guarantee that we will organise an excellent event in Ljubljana – Tacen.
The first wildwater competitions in Slovenia took place at this venue in Tacen, where the bravest paddlers have challenged each other and were of course challenged by the renowned Tacen spillway drop. Canoe slalom competitions in Tacen are an important part of canoeing history. We have hosted three Canoe Slalom World Championships (1955, 1991 and 2010) and two ECA Canoe Slalom European Championships (2005, 2017) among several other major canoeing events.
Canoe Federation of Slovenia and the Organising Committee – SLOKA 2018 are delighted to welcome all national teams and competitors to the competition and we hope that the 2018 ICF Canoe Slalom World Cup race held on the slalom course in Ljubljana - Tacen will see excellent competition and memorable sporting moments for your team.
Andrej Ribič
President of the Canoe Federation of Slovenia,
President of the Organising Committee
