It is with great regret that we inform all interested parties of cancellation of the 2021 ECA Canoe Sprint and Paracanoe European Championships which was scheduled for 2-6 June in Duisburg, Germany. Due to the health situation, the local authorities did not give a consent for the organisation of such an event.
The local organisers of the 2021 ECA
Canoe Sprint and Paracanoe European Championships as well as German Canoe
Federation did everything in their power to organise this year's Senior
European Championships and welcome Europe's best canoe sprinters to one of the
most recognisable canoe sprint venues, but unfortunately all the efforts were
not enough.
The City of Duisburg informed them
they could not issue a permit for the organisation of an event of such
magnitude considering the current health situation and regulations, both in the
City of Duisburg as well as in Germany.
"Together with the local
organisers we did our best to organise the 2021 ECA Canoe Sprint and Paracanoe
European Championships, a festival for the best sprint athletes. We have
invested time and money to welcome our friends in Germany this year after two
years without Canoe Sprint European Championships. Unfortunately, corona upset
all these plans and made it impossible to host the Canoe Sprint European
Championships. The German Canoe Federation and Duisburg Regatta Team ask for
your understanding for this difficult but necessary decision at this time,"
said Mr. Thomas Konietzko, president of the German Canoe Federation.
European Canoe Association would like
to thank the organisers for their efforts in trying to organise the
championships under strict protocols to help ensure the safety of all the participants
and their negotiations with the local authorities until the very last moment,
and would also like to ask everyone affected by this difficult decision of
cancellation for understanding.
