Paddle Australia has announced the Australian Canoe Slalom teams for 2023.

Following selection at the Penrith Open and Australian Open, Paddle Australia has locked in its senior, U23 and junior teams that will represent Australia in 2023.

Olympic gold medalist Jessica Fox and dual Olympian Lucien Delfour headline the team which boasts a mix of youth and experience across both the kayak and canoe boats.

“Paddle Australia is very pleased to announce the athletes who have been selected to our Australia Canoe Slalom teams for 2023,” Paddle Australia National Performance Director, Kim Crane said.

“Our Canoe Slalom team is world class, boasting a mix of youth and experience across both the kayak and canoe boats.

“This year will be a massive year for our Canoe Slalom program, with the Senior World Championships in London this year the first chance to earn quotas for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

“Special thanks to the National Centre of Excellence, pathways and club coaches and support teams that continue to support our athletes in becoming the world’s best paddlers and worlds best people.

“The international season is fast approaching, and we’re looking forward to seeing our Australian Canoe Slalom team in action as we continue to countdown to the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.”

Paddle Australia CEO Phil Jones said: “On behalf of Paddle Australia I’d like to congratulate the athletes selected to the Australian Canoe Slalom teams for 2023. After seeing them all race on home soil earlier this year, I’m excited to see what they can do across the World Cup season and at the World Championships. I’d like to thank the team of volunteers, officials and selectors that made the selection events possible, and wish this group of athletes the very best of luck for the upcoming international season.”
