Bid from Brazil

Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Ladies and Gentlemen,
In the coming years, Rio de Janeiro will become the world capital of sport by hosting the Rio 2016
Olympic Games. The Brazilian government, private initiative and Society are working very hard to make
Rio 2016 an unforgettable event in the history of the sport.
Brazil has in recent years become an important venue for major events of the canoeing world, and
hosted the Slalom World Championships, held in Foz do Iguaçu, and of course, the Pan American
Games in Rio de Janeiro, both performed successfully in 2007.
The Rio 2016 Summer Paraolympic Games will be the stage of the first para-canoeing event in
Paralympic history and Va´a will make its debut as a Paraolimpic discipline.
Since its introduction in Brazil in 2000, va´a has grown strong and became in 2008 one of the official
modalities supported by the Brazilian Canoe Confederation. Brazil has hosted 3 South American Va´a
Championships and in 2011 we´ll celebrate the 10th anniversary of the annual Rio Va´a international
race.
In this scenario, the Brazilian Canoe Confederation confirms its application to host the 16th IVF-Va’a
World Sprints Championships.
The proposed venue for this event will beautiful Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas located in the southern
part of Rio de Janeiro, close to Ipanema beach.
Nicolas Bourlon, Supervisor of the Va´a Committee of the Brazilian Canoe Confederation who has
been directly involved with in the development of Va´a in Brazil since 2001 is representing Brazil in
the IVF Annual General Assembly and will be happy to answer to all questions from the IVF Board
concerning this bid.
For South America and South American Canoe Federation, this event will permit to further develop
Va´a in the sub-continent, and new countries are expected to joint Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Peru
in the Va´a family.
For Brazil and for the Brazilian Canoe Confederation, the 16th IVF-Va’a World Sprint Championships
will provide the opportunity to show the world the qualities and skills the country has for the
organization of events of this magnitude, contribute to the worldwide development of Va’a as well
as the preparation of the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paraolympic Games
Yours sincerely,
João Tomasini Schwertner
President of the Brazilian Canoe Confederation
President of the South American Canoe Federation
