The Generation Next Jr.s also made it onto the podium.
Their future is already one to look forward to. They showed great performances, rowing confidently despite the difficult situation.
Compared to the big manufacturers around the world, KOKUA is by no means large, but despite its small size, the team fought hard on the world stage, leaving a big mark and clearly demonstrating its presence.
Next year's ICF is scheduled to be held in Florida, USA, around the same time as this year's.
We look forward to seeing Team KOKUA continue to soar both domestically and internationally in 2024 .
