Dartmouth grad competes against international kayaking elite

|

Kristen Podolak '01 is currently representing the United States at the World Freestyle Kayak Championships in Penrith, Australia. During the competition, the world's best kayakers attempt to perform the biggest, most impressive, and most consistent tricks in their boats on a hydraulic at a whitewater park. Freestyle differs from the Olympic slalom event in that boats are much shorter and the focus is placed on the kayaker's ability to master skills like 360-degree "cartwheels" and moves that launch body and boat into the air with a clean landing. Podolak first learned to kayak on her freshman DOC Trip in 1997.
