2018 Canoe Slalom World Cup


The 2018 Canoe Slalom World Cup was a series of five races in 5 canoeing and kayaking categories organized by the International Canoe Federation. It was the 31st edition. The men's C2 event was removed from the World Cup program before the start of the season by the ICF and was replaced by the mixed C2 event. This was the first season when points were awarded also for the Extreme K1 events.

Calendar

The series opened with World Cup Race 1 in Liptovský Mikuláš, Slovakia and ended with the World Cup Final in La Seu d'Urgell, Spain for the traditional canoe slalom events. The World Championships counted for the overall world cup standings of the Extreme K1 events, but not for the traditional canoe slalom events.
