They opened the World Championships for youth, juniors and girls
The President of the International Federation of Canoe-Kayak Tomas Konietsko, the Mayor of Plovdiv Kostadin Dimitrov and the Deputy Minister of Sports Stoyan Andonov opened the World Canoe-Kayak Championship for young people up to 23 years old, juniors and girls, which will be held from July 17 to 21 in Plovdiv.
“In a few days, the best representatives of the canoe-kayak sport in the world will compete for the Olympic medals in Paris. Plovdiv is the place where, in the next few days, the future best competitors will fight for honors. You are the ones who will be the faces of our sport in Los Angeles in 2028 and Brisbane in 2032. And that’s why you deserve a professional stage to perform at this year’s World Cup. I am grateful that the Bulgarian Canoe-Kayak Federation provides this stage here in Plovdiv. I also thank the Municipality of Plovdiv and the Bulgarian state, without whom this competition would not have been possible.
100 years after the creation of organized canoe-kayak in Bulgaria, your federation is a reliable partner of the International. And with this World Championship, a new page will be written in the successful history of canoe-kayaking in Bulgaria,” Konietsko said.
