Welcome of the President of Canoe Federation of Slovenia
Dear canoeing friends,
It is a great pleasure to invite you to the ICF Canoe Slalom World Cup race in Ljubljana – Tacen. It will be the first race of this kind for me since I have taken up the position of the president of Canoe Federation of Slovenia. But 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 venue of the event, popularly named “Tacen”, is located in the picturesque environment by the Sava River, lying at the foothills of the Šmarna Gora Mountain and Grmada peak. Tacen has had an important role in the Slovene canoeing history, which began 85 years ago with the establishment of the first canoeing club in Ljubljana – Kajak kanu klub Ljubljana.
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 World Championships and European Championship among several other major canoeing events. Canoe Slalom races in Tacen are traditional and I hope Kayak Cross events will become a traditional races from this year on too.
Canoe Federation of Slovenia and the Organising Committee – SLOKA 2016 are delighted to welcome all National Teams to the competition and we hope that 2016 ICF CANOE SLALOM WORLD CUP FINAL on the slalom course in Ljubljana - Tacen will see excellent competition and memorable sporting moments for your team.
