What's it like kayaking at Riversport OKC? Experience site of 2028 Olympic canoe slalom

I'm Amanda Avila and I'm at River Story Whitewater Center, which is a site that will host the 2026 ICF Canoe Slalom World Championships and the 2028 Summer Olympics. I got on the kayak for the first time and I just went down the course that the Olympic athletes will go down in two years and it was very nerve-wracking and I was scared I was gonna fall but I actually think I did pretty well. Like I didn't really know what I was doing at times and I wasn't really sure which way to paddle and how to keep my nose straight but I think it just came more as an instinct and I felt that going down straight down the water was really was going to help me stay upright and that was my main goal during it just not to fall into the water. I have so much respect for the Olympic athletes that go down that course very fast and I'm sure that the center is going to make it a lot more competitive and a lot more rough. It's so nice to see everyone out here and to see all the different countries participating for the world championships in just a couple weeks and it's a new sport that I definitely would want to get even more.
