Welcome to the GB Canoeing website, the home of GB Olympic Canoeing. 

Here you will find access to all you want to know about the athletes, coaches and staff working towards Olympic success.

GB Canoeing is dedicated to supporting the most talented athletes in the Olympic disciplines of Canoe Slalom and Canoe Sprint Racing to win medals at the highest level.  Having consistently won Olympic medals since 2000, the sport gained its first Olympic Champion, Tim Brabants, in 2008. 

Our overall aim is to win more Gold medals in 2012.

The GB Canoeing Olympic programme is based at two High Performance Centres; Holme Pierrepont, Nottingham and Bisham Abbey, near Marlow.

GB Canoeing operates a `no compromise’ philosophy and delivers excellence through continuous improvement.

Our Vision
