AUSSIES SET TO CONTEST 2022 ICF CANOE MARATHON WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS

A team of 21 athletes have arrived in Portugal ahead of the 2022 ICF Canoe Marathon World Championships.

The 21-strong 2022 Australian Canoe Marathon Team and will represent Australia in the Open, Junior and U23 categories at the World Championships in Ponte Lima, Portugal, from September 29 to October 2, 2022.

Paddle Australia has also selected 20 athletes in the Masters category.

The strong line-up of men and women across the Senior, Under 23 and Junior categories feature a number of paddlers with substantial experience racing at world championships level, including national champion Josh Kippin and Tokyo Olympian Jaime Roberts.

Roberts said she’s eager to return to international competition for the first time since the Tokyo Olympic Games.

“Like with any World Championships, I’m a little bit nervous but more excited for this one I think,” Roberts said.

“This is going to be really fun for me – my first marathon World Championships representing Australia so I can’t wait to get out there.

“With Marathon, I’ve set myself some more holistic goals like getting off the water with a big smile on my face, and just doing my best out there.

“I’ve never done an international marathon race before, so I can’t wait to get out there and give it my best,” she said.

Roberts said she’s looking forward to donning the green and gold again, and being a part of the Australian Canoe Marathon team.

“It’s always an honour to represent the green and gold, no matter what sport or discipline you’re doing,” Roberts said.

“Wearing the words Australia on your back, and doing it with a smile and your mates – there’s nothing better,” she said.

The 2022 ICF Canoe Marathon World Championships will get underway on September 29.
