2020 ICF Dragon Boat World Championship

In such circumstance the 2020 Olympic selection process will determine a points table winner who would then be invited to compete at an identified race opportunity. The Olympic boat nomination will be awarded to the highest placed of the two athletes in the final results in the specific event(s) at the identified race(s).

The International Panel has the sole discretion to invoke these clauses if required and may prioritise International race entries to facilitate this. This clause cannot override any Olympic Boat nomination gained through Pre-Qualification as identified in this policy.

Any decision arising from these clauses will be made through a panel involving the British Canoeing Performance Director, Head Coach Canoe Slalom and the British Canoeing Chief Medical Officer (CMO) or nominated representative to ensure a transparent process that also considers the medical needs of the athlete involved. When assessing if an athlete is fit to race, the CMO decision is final.
