The2011ICF Canoe Slalom World Championships took place from September 7–11, 2011 inBratislava,Slovakia[1] under the auspices ofInternational Canoe Federation. It was the 34th edition. Bad weather conditions on September 7 and 8 forced the organizers to make changes to the schedule. The events were all held over the remaining three days of the Championships.[2] The women's C1 team event debuted at these championships, but did not count as an official medal event due to insufficient number of participating federations.[3][4]
The event was also the only global qualification for the2012 Summer Olympics inLondon.[5]
It was the first time Slovakia hosted the ICF Canoe Slalom World Championships. The races were held in theČunovo Water Sports Centre on an offshoot of the riverDanube near the borders withAustria andHungary. Slovakia won the medal table with 3 golds, 2 silvers and 3 bronzes.
