This is the second consecutive year that the Sharks have provided a London Youth Games champion and  gaining medals in both slalom and sprint, shows the clubs diversity and abilities in both diciplines.

One gold, a silver and two bronze medals as well as three other finalist apperances, question is: can we do even better next year? We think that we can with your help, for more information and to get involved contact: canoeing@thesharks.org.uk.
