Hello
and welcome to my website! My name is Michal Smolen and I am a whitewater
slalom kayaker. I am on the US Junior National Team and a member
of the Nantahala Racing Club in North Carolina. I have been competing
in kayaking for over five years and I have represented the United
States in world-class races. I currently live and train in Charlotte,
NC at the US National Whitewater Center, a US Olympic Training Site.
I hope to achieve many things in my kayaking career such as going
to the Olympic Games in 2012, World Championships, and World Cups.
You can follow my endeavors by reading my blogs, results, and articles
which are located in the above links. Below you can find information
about who I am, what I do, what my goals are, etc. Enjoy! |
