Kiwis World Fastest

After missing out last year, our workmate Danielle Currie and her K4, 500-metre team have won a place in the top-10, under-23, fastest canoe-racing teams at this year’s World Champs in Portugal.

The kiwi team missed out on a placing at last year’s World Champs by just a second, but hard work, grit and determination this year paid off with their placing of ninth overall.

Danielle is delighted: “What an end to our campaign. Ending up 9th in the world…after a great race with the girls – thanks for everyone’s support!”

Danielle sends thanks again to all those who helped her get to this year’s World Champs:

• Everest Global Logistics
• Anglo Pacific International
