The 2024 International Canoe Federation (ICF) Hangzhou Super Cup is set to take place from October 11 to 13 at the Fuyang Water Sports Center, the same venue used for last year's Hangzhou Asian Games. This groundbreaking event will be the first top-tier international canoeing competition to showcase four major disciplines - sprint, slalom, marathon, and canoe polo - all within a single event.

The competition will feature a total of 30 events: 10 individual sprint races, 10 slalom events, eight marathon races, and two canoe polo competitions. More than 530 elite athletes from 36 countries and regions are expected to participate.

Located in eastern China's Hangzhou, Fuyang is renowned for Yuan Dynasty painter Huang Gongwang's famous work, Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains. The Fuyang Water Sports Center is notable as the site where the first gold medal of the Hangzhou Asian Games was awarded.
