Wordcup
An agreement about cancelling the Preworlds came out from a great discussion between America and European states in 2006. The World Cup was established instead of it. It is organised every even year on the same continent as World Championship should be held. This competition consists of 3 races organised in one month:
15.-17.8. - Prague (CZE) more about Prague Whitewater Rodeo 2008
22.-24.8. - Augsburg (GER)
28.-31.8. - Thun (SWI)
There is a condition that one of the races will be held at the same place as incoming World Championship. The World Championship 2009 will be organised in Thun in Switzerland then. In 2006 the World Cup took his place in Canada and the World Championship 2007 was in Ottawa.
