EXPO 2023 Crystal Lagoon Pond is becoming an important facility where champion athletes in the canoeing branch will train.
A free canoe course has started in cooperation with the Onikişubat Municipality Youth and Sports Directorate and the Youth Sports Club, which carries out its activities within the Onikişubat District Youth and Sports Directorate.
The beginning of the course, in which students aged 9-14 will participate, was held at the EXPO 2023 Crystal Lagoon pond.
Onikişubat Mayor Hanefi Mahçiçek, who came together with the athletes, their families and instructors, presented various gifts to the students.
Mayor Mahçiçek said, “In addition to our EXPO events, we wanted to provide canoe training in our 70 thousand square meter pool. We have a very beautiful lagoon, we hope that champions will emerge from here. We hope and hope that these children will grow up here, in the future they will raise the flag of this country, that beautiful flag, and hopefully win some championships.
The children of this country, intelligent children, have shown that they can be successful in every field and at every level when given the opportunity. “Hopefully, these children of ours will represent our country very well in the international arena in the future in this field of canoeing,” he said.
