On April 24 to 26, 2026, Kanupark Markkleeberg will host the opening qualifier for the German national team's canoe slalom world championships. The best athletes will compete for their tickets to the international highlights of the season on one of the most modern whitewater facilities in Europe.
The focus is on qualifying for the World Championships in Oklahoma (USA) - on the course of the 2028 Olympic Games. At the same time, the U18 and U23 athletes are competing for the coveted starting places at the World Championships in Krakow (POL). The pressure is high: only the three fastest athletes in each discipline will secure a place in the national team - excitement is guaranteed.
Top national stars such as Olympic champion and multiple world champion Ricarda Funk will be taking part. From a Leipzig perspective, the focus will be on Felix Sachers, Nele Bayn, Lennard Tuchscherer, Christin Heidenreich, Nils Zimmermann, Neele Krech and two-time world champion and Olympic bronze medalist Andrea Herzog.
Look forward to high-class and nerve-wracking competitions - admission is free of charge.
