Madison's road to Portugal.

Thanks to everyone again for your wonderful support. Unfortunately, however, there has been an unwelcome development. One of the team had to pull out at the last minute, and no replacement paddler was available. This meant that Canoe Racing NZ had to withdraw their entry from that event. While some of the team could still compete in other events, Madison ended up staying home. This was all happening just before their scheduled departure, with the final decision being made only the night before they were due to leave.

As you can imagine, this was extremely disappointing for everyone involved, particularly Madison.
