With the support of the Georgian Ministry of Culture and Sport, a new canoeing and rowing center was launched in Maltakva, Poti, with Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze and Minister Tinatin Rukhadze attending the opening ceremony.
The facility was built with a GEL 7 million investment and includes modern sports infrastructure, accommodation, conference rooms, and other features.
Maltakva’s location, with its water-rich landscape, provides perfect conditions for water sports training—an issue raised by athletes in the past.
The center’s goal is to promote water sports in Georgia and host international aquatic contests at the historically significant facility for Georgian rowing, shaped by Olympic champion Viktor Kratasyuk.
