National Olympic canoe manager Karl Dunne has revealed plans are at an advanced stage to develop the sport in Ireland.

Irish canoeist Eoin Rheinisch admitted he could not be too despondent despite going so close to winning a medal in today's Olympic Kayak K1 Slalom final.

WORLD Cup gold medallist Eoin Rheinisch bids to emulate Ian Wiley’s title winning success from 1996 when he competes this weekend at the European Slalom Canoeing Championships at Tacin in Slovenia.
