The Beijing Olympics begin in exactly one year, with the whitewater slalom competition taking place August 11th through the 14th, 2008. I’m already excited. Worlds is arguably a better event for actually establishing who is the best, but “the O-word” does hold a unique prestige. When I was swimming, I dreamed of competing in the lanes at Barcelona (my favorite t-shirt read "No Pain, No Spain") or Atlanta (another shirt, "No Pain, No Peaches").
US paddlers are in China right now preparing for the whitewater test event next week. Some pictures of the course are posted on Cathy Hearn's website:
