Demos today

Scrutineering was all on yesterday with a little glitch for one of the Kiwi competitors but all in all everyone through scrutineering. Aaron just has to return this morning for the final OK. The course is looking fabulous with its village of tents, flagpoles and general busyness which surrounds a world championship. The course will bring it challenges for all the competitors as it is technically difficult and the gates will be demanding for all. With over 300 athletes competing the competition will be tight in particularly the K1men ( 102), C1 men (66)and K1Women(65) the C2 have more leeway with only 39 boats in that class
Demos are this afternoon and official technical feed has been organised but Alison and Sue will be there with the team videos as well just in case there are any hiccups.
The Kiwis will be on the water this morning for a final training then after that it is flat water as the course will be closed.
I have moved in with the judges who have arrived over the past few days from around the world The last three judges arrive in from Europe overnight.
