What an incredible 2018 we have had in the canoeing world, full of jubilation and heartbreak.
Finding a highlight in a year with so many would seem a near-impossible task, but that is what we are asking you to do!
We want you to tell us what your favourite canoeing moment of 2018 was. To help you on your way, we have helpfully compiled a list of major world championship winners below.
Over the next two weeks we will highlight on our Planet Canoe Facebook, Instagram and Twitter accounts some of the biggest moments we saw this year. To vote all you need to do is like that post.
Of course, if you’d like to nominate a result not listed below, go right ahead. We will be gathering results across all our social media platforms, and will then countdown the top ten as we head towards the end of 2018.
So check out the list below, go back and watch the event on our YouTube account if you want to refresh your memory, and get voting!
