Vladi Panato (born 28 October 1972) is an Italian male canoeist who won 15 medals at senior level at the Wildwater Canoeing World Championships. [1] [2]
The myth has won 11 world cups making it the canoeist with the highest record of victories, [3] six in a row from 1994 to 1999, then from 2001 to 2003, 2005 and in 2007 the eleventh and last one.
His two daughters Cecilia and Alice are also canoeists. [4] From 2017 he is also the technical director of the Italy national wildwater canoeing team, having taken over the role of another Italian canoeing legend, Robert Pontarollo. [5]
In 2004 Vladi Panato ended the World Cup season with 192 points as the winner, but with equal partial successes (2) he was ranked second for the lowest number of second places (2 against 3). Panato had forfeited the sixth and final race in protest, although only one point would have been enough to win his ninth world cup. The winner was Tomislav Hohnjec. [6]

Vladi Panato, campione veronese di canoa discesa. 9 Campionati del mondo, 5 Campionati europei e 11 Coppe del mondo,
papà Vladi ha poi acconsentito e ha fatto loro assaggiare l’emozione dell’Adige, delle sue onde, delle sue rapide e dei suoi passaggi e oggi, a 15 anni con Cecilia e a 18 con Alice
Sul ponte di comando della discesa italiana Robert Pontarollo ha lasciato il testimone ad un’altra leggenda delle wildwater, quel Vladi Panato che ha vinto praticamente tutto da atleta e che dopo alcune stagioni da tecnico è stato designato da questo 2017 al vertice della direzione tecnica del settore discesa.
Eight-time World beater, and perhaps the greatest canoeist ever, Vladi Panato forfeited the race and his shot at winning the World Cups. Vladi just shook his head in disgust and refused to paddle the class ZERO canal.
