Two Island girls were the first to represent Hawaii in the Olympic trails. Coached by Tottossy, Karen Kudsen (17), and Anna Naone (18), were selected to attend the Olympic Trials.

Extractions: Fax: 770.287.3444 The 1996 Olympic Canoe / Kayak and Rowing Venue Gainesville, Georgia In 1992, Gainesville Hall 96 Roundtable chaired by Jim Mathis was formed with other community leaders to seek Olympic opportunities. Jack Pyburn, a local rower, learned the rowing venue the Atlanta Committee for the Olympic Games (ACOG) had selected was in jeopardy. Jim and Jack worked to convince the International Rowing Federation to bring the venue to Lanier. ACOG was approached and lobbied by Jim and Steve Gilliam, Vice Chair of Gainesville Hall 96. They were successful. The full Gainesville Hall 96 Committee consisted of 35 dedicated community members who provided immeasurable support through providing a functioning office, merchandising, volunteers, Olympic housing, test event support, club support, fundraising, legal advice, and anything else that might arise! Executive Director, Mary Hart Wilheit, gracefully managed the office. Following the 1996 Olympic Games Gainesville Hall 96 became the Gainesville Hall 96 Foundation consisting of 12 members chaired by Jim Mathis. The boathouse, timing tower and racecourse remain as a permanent Olympic legacy - a gift to the local community. The Venue is co-owned by the City of Gainesville and Hall County, and is leased to the Gainesville Hall 96 Foundation. The construction of the facility was funded by ACOG. The land belongs to the Corp of Engineers. The Lake Lanier Rowing Club and the Lanier Canoe and Kayak Club (LCKC) sublease the facilities. Gainesville Parks and Recreation and Hall County Parks and Leisure Departments assist with maintenance to the buildings and grounds and are the liaison with the city and county governments. No tax dollars are committed to the operation of the facility or programs. The clubs work in cooperation, but run separate programs.
Extractions: Canoeing as a recreational sport was started in the 19th century by an English barrister, John MacGregor. MacGregor designed his own Eskimo-style kayak in 1845, and spent much of the next quarter-century taking the boat on extended trips across the rivers and lakes of Europe. During this time, he wrote a popular series of books and delivered lectures describing his canoeing experiences. MacGregor's adventures spawned many imitators, and in 1866 he founded the Royal Canoe Club to encourage further interest in the new sport. The club held its first regatta in 1867. By 1868 the RCC boasted 300 enthusiasts and had developed a fully realized set of rules to govern competitive canoe racing. The sport's popularity spread through Europe and North America, and the New York Canoe Club was founded in 1871.

Extractions: OLYMPIC HISTORY Though staged as a demonstration sport in 1924, canoeing only became an official medal sport - for men only - in front of Adolf Hitler in 1936, whose loyalties may well have been torn as Austria won three titles to Germany's two. Canoes, kayaks and folding canoes were all in evidence, but the Olympic life of the folding canoe was a brief one - it would never be seen again. Europeans remain the dominant nation in the sport, with Canadians causing the occasional upset. Women had to wait until after the Second World War, at the London Games of 1948 to take part in canoeing, and then only in one race, the 500 metres Kayak singles. A pairs race was added in Rome, in 1960, but the fours only came in in 1984. From the early 1970s until the fall of the Berlin Wall, the German Democratic Republic dominated the sport, their achievements long tainted, however, by evidence of a state-run doping programme.

Extractions: KAYAK MEDAL MAKES HISTORY Brabants: silver medal hope. Picture: Juda Ngwenya/Reuters TIM BRABANTS, Britain's first ever Olympic sprint canoeing medallist, retains a slim hope of having his bronze upgraded to a silver. Brabants, a 23-year-old medical student from Walton-on-Thames, finished third in the men's K1 1000 metres in Sydney. But Petar Merkov, the Bulgarian who finished second, is involved in a drugs controversy which could yet see him disqualified. Reports in Bulgaria have alleged that Merkov tested positive for a banned diuretic - used as a masking agent for steroids - a fortnight ago. The International Canoe Federation (ICF), the sport's governing body, have so far been unable to get hold of the test results, so Merkov's Olympic placing stands. But Great Britain's Alan Williams is one of 15 national team managers who have written to the ICF asking for the situation to be clarified. Williams said: "Prior to the competition we heard of these test results and wanted to know the ICF's position. They told us the tests had taken place in a Bulgaria and they had not been able to make contact with the laboratory yet. "That remains the case. Even if they do see the results, whether or not the test results will be officially recognised by the ICF is not clear because it wasn't a ICF test. But the whole thing seems very dubious."

Extractions: Alpha Index Index by Sport History Bits Forum ... Search Table of Contents The canoe is one of the oldest forms of transportation, probably second only to the raft. Dugout canoes were being manufactured at least 8,000 years ago. But lighter, more maneuverable canoes were developed much more recently in North America by covering a frame with animal skins, fabric, or bark. The birchbark canoe used by Native Americans was adopted by French explorers and fur traders during the 17th century. Despite its frail appearance, it's a very strong, durable craft. Its shallow draft will carry through white-water rapids that would demolish most boats, and it can be easily portaged around totally impassable rapids or across stretches of land from one body of water to another. The Eskimo kayak, which has a partly enclosed deck with openings for the paddlers' seats, was discovered by Europeans somewhat later. While the canoeist uses a single-bladed paddle that's similar to the oar used in rowing, the kayak paddle has a blade on each end and is gripped in the middle. A Scottish lawyer, John MacGregor, was chiefly responsible for establishing canoeing as a recreational sport. In 1845, he designed a type of canoe, the Rob Roy, which had a deck and was equipped with a mast and sail as well as paddles. MacGregor went on a whole series of cruises in Europe and the Holy Land beginning in 1849, and he wrote books and delivered many lectures about his trips.

The slalom events were added in 1972, then dropped until 1992. Two types of canoes are used. The Canadian canoe is propelled by a single-bladed paddle and the blade has to be alternated between sides of the boat to keep it on a straight course. In the kayak, the paddler uses a paddle with a blade on each end. Flatwater races begin with qualifying heats, and the top two or three finishers in each heat advance to the semifinals, based on qualifying times. The others go into a repechage round and the top three or four finishers in each heat of that round also move into the semifinals. Through 1980, the top six finishers in the semifinals went into the final round to determine the medallists and the next six competed in a

Extractions: This page will continue being loaded) INTRODUCTION The Canoeing has been present along all my life, and I have wanted to share the information that I have gathered about it, as well as the experiences of others and own, to show them to whom could be interested in the canoeing history, modalities, the canoeing in the Olympic games and in my native country, Venezuela, among other things related with the topic, that will be continually updated in this website. In the decade of 1970, my father Enrique Sanjuan founded the company " Moby Dick ", the brand that would have all the kayaks manufactured by our family. At the present time Moby Dick continues manufacturing kayaks and canoes. Since 1967, I passed countless weekends and vacations together with my family, frequently paddling in canoes, and kayaks in the Lake of Valencia. In the year 1985, I began to train competition kayaking in "La Mariposa" (The Butterfly) dam, in Caracas. During some years I was member of the Canoe Kayak Club U.C.V, and among the national events of canoeing in those where I pleasurably participated, I still conserve together with my partner of double kayak K-2, Daniel Tallada, the best mark in the Regatta-marathon Approximately 113 km ), whose distance we reached for a time of 7 hours and 43 minutes, in 1987. This regatta is, without any doubt, spectacular and endless.
