Welcome Words by the Brandenburg State Canoe Federation Ladies and Gentlemen, dear canoeists of the International Juniors Cup, Life in the most water-rich federal state of the Federal Republic of Germany is often taken for granted by us Brandenburgers and we rarely take the time to consciously perceive this water treasure on our doorstep. This changes abruptly when it lures canoe racers from all over Europe to the regatta course to Brandenburg an der Havel. The traditional regatta course is known beyond the borders of Brandenburg and Germany and has developed into an important meeting place for water sports. Since 1883, people have been paddling in Brandenburg an der Havel. A few years later, canoeists also took over the waters of the city. This long tradition is continued on the regatta course in Brandenburg. The unique natural landscape in the middle of the Beetzsee, the high standard of the technical equipment, the generous and multifunctional buildings as well as the many committed organizers and volunteers have contributed to establish this regatta course as an ideal place for the organization of international competitions. The cosmopolitan and hospitable city of Brandenburg an der Havel will once again be an excellent host. Everyone is welcome - whether Brandenburgers or guests, canoeists or non-canoeists - and can become part of this event. As Vice President of the Brandenburg Canoeing Association I would like to invite all interested junior athletes, trainers and officials as well as guests and spectators personally and on behalf of the organizing committee. I am very pleased to assume the patronage of the Junior Cup. I wish all young athletes a good portion of luck and maximum success at the 11th International Juniors Cup, as well as the visitors many nice emotional moments while cheering and watching. We would like to thank the Federal Ministry of the Interior, the Federal Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport of the State of Brandenburg, the City of Brandenburg an der Havel, the Organising Committee of the Brandenburg Canoe Association, the sponsors and volunteers who support the preparation and organisation of the 11 th International Junior Cup. Petra Welke Vice president olympic competitive sport
