Croatian Rafting
Federation
This organization is expected to be formally founded and accepted
by Croatian Olympic Committee in March 1998.
International Rafting Federation
Croatia will become a member of IRF as soon as administration procedure
of national federation is completed.
National championships
The first Croatian Rafting Championships were held on river Kupa in
May 1993. From 1994-1996 Atlas American Express was the general sponsor
and the competition was called the AmEx Rafting Cup. The final race
in 1997 was postponed until Spring 1998 due to very low water levels.
The time and venue for 1998 championships will be determined as soon
as the national rafting federation is founded.

The team of Atlas/Riverfree guides participated as Team Croatia in
the 1996 and 1997 CWWC held on the mighty Zambezi River and finished

place in Costa Rica in September.

The first European Rafting Championships approved by the IRF will
be held in Augsburg in June 1998. We intend to have two teams on that
competition yes, ladies too
