We need this. The public is more interested in water sports than watching a boring bicycle race for one hour

It really would be nice to have worlds in a safe location. Since its a year out and we don't know how rapid zika is spreading. Also not having a feature that is finished to see if its sufficient enough for us to display our skills. Thank you! Haley

Please change the venue to Horstead Mill. Many deny it, but Norfolk really is the Mecca for freestyle kayaking.

Honestly, given the amount of us who have paddled quite happily in Uganda where mosquito borne illness, water quality, security issues and economic instability were all part of the game, I can't help but question 4 of the 5 concerns here.
But a good wave to host it on is a must. How about Hawea, NZ. Just got to watch out for kiwis and there ghost chups

There's a lot of misinformation in this article, for a start the water at the 'pumped' white water course is treated (like Lee Valley), so probably the cleanest water anywhere. The water quality issues are with the sprint and sailing venues, which are natural water sources.
It uses rapid blocks so will be easy to create a new feature.
Economically the country is probably more stable than the UK right now.

Anywhere but Rio- Europe or US would be better alternatives. Uganda would be the ultimate.
