# Canoeing: Eighteen-year-old University of Cape Town first-year student, Jordan Klopper, is preparing to compete in the International Canoeing Federation’s junior and Under-23 canoe sprint World Championships in Portugal. This will be the sixth time the BCom student will be representing South Africa. He will be competing in the 200-metre and 500-metre single-paddler K1 events. Klopper says competing in a new age group will be tough, but adds that he has nothing to lose and everything to gain.
