Canoe slalom met its Australias Winning Edge target with a gold medal in the womens K1 event at the world championships which was complemented by a promising fifth place in the mens event. However beyond these performances and an Olympic qualifying standard in the mens C1 few athletes met their targetsexpectations at this event. The sprint program fell short of its Australias Winning Edge targets for the 2014 world championships. There were nonetheless some valuable lessons learnt and positive results by younger athletes including a silver medal for a new mens K2 1000 combination and an impressive performance by a new womens K2 combination which is closing in on the podium. The sport believes it is on target for its Rio 2016 goals but achieving this will require a great deal of work. Australian Canoeing has made significant cultural shifts this year particularly in the areas of planning assessment and review. This includes close athlete monitoring after acknowledging that a tighter focus and rigor around operations is needed to win medals in Rio. para-canoe Para-canoe will make its debut in Rio as the sport continues to grow worldwide. Two debutants at the 2014 world championships secured medals in Paralympic events gold and a bronze with five of the six team members improving andor exceeding expectations. This was preceded by a successful joint training camp with the able-bodied sprint team at the AIS European Training Centre in Varese Italy. The final para- canoe program for Rio 2016 poses a threat to Australian medal chances with the V1 event being replaced by another kayak event in which Australian Canoeing is untested. governance The sport has begun a process to adopt company limited by guarantee status including changes to its constitution which will align it to the ASCs mandatory sports governance principles to be adopted by July 2015. Australian Canoeing recently undertook a board and executive performance review which has provided a set of recommendations to achieve better practice in its governance system. With the adoption of these recommendations and the new constitution Australian Canoeing will move closer to achieving compliance against the governance principles. 2014 benchmark event world championships medal target 2 to 4 actual gold 1 silver 1 bronze 0 total 2 2014 Paralympic benchmark event world championships medal target 1 to 2 actual gold 1 silver 0 bronze 1 total 2
