Team Great Britain at the Canoe Polo European Championships
The 2023 European Games took place in Krakow, Poland. Jake and Ali travelled as part of an 8 strong team of Irish canoe slalom athletes, and as part of Team Ireland, which had 123 Irish athletes from 16 different sports. For both of them, this was the first multi-sport event that they had been a part of, and getting to meet and compete alongside athletes from so many different sports was a fantastic experience.
