What better way to kick off the 2017 ICF World Cup season than a Canoe Sprint event at Portugal's Montemor-o-Velho. It's also the start of a new Olympic cycle, so watch for lots of new combinations and lots of new faces.

Montemor-o-Velho will also host the 2018 ICF Sprint Canoe World Championships, so its a great chance for athletes and spectators alike to get an early taste of this fantastic venue.
