Dear participants of the ICF Sprint Canoeing World Cup 2009,

Let me, on behalf of the Organizing Committee and the Czech Canoe Union, thank to all teams for participation, excellent performance and nice fair-play atmosphere during all the competition.

I believe you take home only pleasant memories from your stay in the Czech Republic and you will come back to Sportcentre Račice soon again. You will be always welcome in Račice at a training camp or at an international competition. We will do our best for you to feel comfortable in the Heart of Europe. The next opportunity to come back to the Račice can be 1^st ICF Canoe Sprint MASTERS Competition 2009 in September this year.

Moje poděkování patří také všem členům Organizačního výboru. Jejich excelentní práce, úsilí širokého týmu spolupracovníků a rozhodčích umožnilo uspořádat v ČR opět velice kvalitní závod.

Jan Bohac,

Chairman of the Organizing Committee

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

The Czech Republic has the honour of welcoming participants to the 1. Canoe Sprint World Cup 2009 Račice. The International Canoe Federation, ICF, conferred the organisation of this important sporting event on the Czech Canoe Union.

The World Cup will be held at the Račice Regatta Course and are by no means the first important sporting event to be held at Račice; Sportcentrum Račice has successfully organised several international events of similar importance in the past:

1986 World Rowing Junior Championships

1993 World Canoeing Junior Championships

1993 World Rowing Championships

1999 World Fishing Championships

2002 World Rowing Masters Regatta

2004 Canoeing World Cup

2006 European Canoeing Championships

2007 World Canoeing Junior Championships

For the Czech Canoe Union and the Sportcentrum Račice the 1. Canoe Sprint World Cup 2009 Račice provides a further opportunity to showcase the quality of the Račice Regatta Course to the outside world as well as our organisational ability. This is very important for us, not only to attract further major canoeing competitions to the Czech Republic, but also to support Prague’s bid to host the Olympic Games in 2020, as the Olympic rowing and canoeing events would be held at the Račice Sports Centre.

In conclusion, as Chairman of the Organising Committee for the 1. Canoe Sprint World Cup 2009 Račice in Račice I would like to express my conviction that the World Cup will be staged to the complete satisfaction of competitors, their support teams, spectators, international sports officials and the organisers.

Mgr. Jan Boháč

Chairman of the Organising Committee
