The selection committee felt that the above paddlers all had a reasonable chance of making the finals in Brazil. The committee also recognised that considerable effort had gone into the formation of crew boats and particularly the boys K4. However as all of our best junior paddlers had preferences for the K1 and K2 events the K4 was un-competitive finishing last in both events at Bochum. Therefore the Committee was unable to recommend this boat.
The SRC will be asked to ratify this team on Sunday 8th at 5 pm.
