White Water Racing World Championships 2014
The 29th White Water Canoe Racing World Championships took place from June 10th to July 14th, 2014. They were held in Sondrio, Italy on the Adda . The most successful nation was again France. Germany became the second strongest nation mainly due to the good results in the classic middle distance and despite obvious deficits on the short distance and in the team races. The competitions were affected by floods.
