Forget the royal wedding and FA Cup final, this weekend’s big event was GB freestyle selection event for the 2018 team. Under bright blue skies and wall-to-wall sunshine, over forty paddlers took to the water in Nottingham to strut their stuff for the judges.
Congratulations to everyone who paddled. Full results from the day are on the GB Freestyle Facebook page, and the official announcement of team places will be made later this week.
North Wales. A Welsh girl through and through, Lowri is one of Britain’s leading coaches. Having collected gold medals in both British and European freestyle championships, she continues to notch up podium finishes in most of Europe’s extreme races, and has first descents to her name in Mongolia and Georgia. She is a BC Level 5 coach (for those that like the numbers) and owner and head coach at FlowFree Kayak Coaching. Lowri's not just good in a kayak – she has also represented GBR and won international medals as part of the GB Ladies Raft Team and is pretty handy on a mountain bike.
