2026 Selection Policies
The 2026 Canoe Slalom, Kayak Cross, Canoe Sprint and Paracanoe selection policies are now published by the respective International Panels and are the result of significant work behind the scenes.
The IPs would like to thank everyone who contributed to the development of the policies through the public consultation process in the autumn of 2025.
The IPs have also published accompanying statements which highlight a number of key items and shares the key themes from the consultation process.
Please take the time to read the policies and familiarise yourself with the processes to be used for the 2026 season.
