The Teva World Rafting Champs 2010 has come to an end. Japan Men & Women are the new World Rafting Champs. It was an amazing week and a kick ass Grand Closure Party. We would like to thank you all for competing, supporting and following the event!
I hope to see you all at the World Rafting Champs 2011 in Costa Rica.
The Teva World Champs couldn’t have asked for a better finish. The downriver race, its multiple laps (5 for women and 6 for men) proved to be grueling and took its toll on the athletes. Each lap you could see them getting more tired. But in the end every one of the teams took on the challenge of the downriver and gave it their all.
