Hey there

Worrying developments over the last few days. Following what was initially an anonymous contact though my feedback form which lead to a couple of exchanges of emails and a brief meeting this morning, I was informed of some problems at the new Olympic white water site.

I cant go into details just yet as I need them to come back to me with further information first.

I would love to give you more details but I am stuck between a rock and a hard place until I hear more.

Water flows for the first time

This week testing has started at the Lee Valley White Water Centre The ODA is puting the course though its paces to make shore that it offers a challanging but cappable course that can last for many years to come. This has been a well looked forward event for many people and with sites set on paddling the course before the olympics everyone is very keen to see what the course looks like now. This attraction is going to change the uk slalom in so many ways. There is going to be lots of new people to the sport and a big tourist attraction for those that are really into the sport.

Watch the offical clip below
