Extractions: The history of the canoe and kayak has been traced back thousands of years to when natives used these craft to hunt, fish and travel. Canoes were used mainly by the native North and South American Indians along with the Polynesian islanders of the Pacific. They were propelled through the water by single-bladed paddles usually made from wood. The earliest known archaeological evidence of a canoe was unearthed at the tomb of a Sumerian king near the Euphrates River. This relic is estimated to be around 6000 years old. The counterpart of the American Indian canoe is the kayak which was introduced by Eskimos many years ago. These people inhabited the land to the far north of the American continent and Greenland. A whalebone and driftwood frame, with a sea-lion skin stretched tautly over it and waterproofed with whale fat, hardly suggests a budding Olympic sport. Yet the kayaks that meant life to the Inuits in the Arctic for centuries have become the racing kayaks of the modern world - even if the building materials have changed.

Also, a canoe paddle has a flat blade on only one end of the paddle shaft while the kayak paddle is equipped with a curved blade on each end. When you watch the Games also notice that the slalom canoes, unlike regular canoes, are decked , meaning there is a spray skirt that keeps water out of the boat. Also, the slalom canoes and kayaks are shorter and wider than their sprint counterparts in order to be more maneuverable. There are two distinct disciplines in the canoe/kayak competitions: slalom and sprint . The dramatic slalom competitions are held on whitewater while sprints are races on flat water. The slalom didn't make its Olympic debut until in Munich, and because of the costs associated with building the courses, didn't return until Barcelona in . It can be tough to find a naturally occurring course suitable for the events. In fact, Atlanta

Extractions: History Olympic Venues Olympic Sports Greece Today ... Information Canoeing Indoor Outdoor Discontinued Olympic Sports The origins of the sport of Canoeing can be traced as far back as 5,000 years ago, in prehistoric times, when people crossed rivers and lakes in boats. Today's kayak is a descendant of the Eskimo sealskin kayak. The canoe comes from the Canadian Indian birch-bark canoe. Competitive Canoe/kayak flatwater racing is a relatively new sport. The International Canoe Federation (ICF), founded in 1924, is the sport's highest authority internationally. The year 1924 also saw the addition of Canoe/kayak flatwater racing to the Summer Olympics programme. It was incorporated as a display event in the Paris Games, with competitors from America and Canada . The men's Canoe / Kayak flatwater racing disciplines were first included in the Olympic Games competition schedule in 1936 in Berlin , while the women's disciplines were included in 1948 in London . The first European Championship took place in 1933 at Prague . Canoe / kayak flatwater racing is made up of speed races in calm water. The main features of this sport are power and speed. Canoe / kayak flatwater incorporate speed races for nine individual competitors (Ê1, C1) or nine crews (K2 , K4, C2) per course. A course consists of nine lanes, each 9 m wide. The contests take place in a Flatwater Racing Center, and competitors paddle over 500 m or 1,000 m, respectively (Olympic distances). Arrangements for the heats, semi-finals and finals depend on the number of competitors taking part. The winning paddler or crew is the one whose bow's point (the tip of the boat) crosses the finishing line first.

Extractions: ANCIENT ORIGINS SPORT BORN OUT OF THE SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST The need to travel and the struggle for survival among North and South American Indians and Eskimos gave rise to the canoe and kayak. The Tlinget and Haida people who lived on the west coast of what is now Canada and northern United States developed the dugout canoe by hollowing out a tree trunk. Some vessels were large enough to carry about 60 people. Similar vessels were also used in Amazonia and on Lake Titicaca in South America. Their live s, however, were relatively simple compared with those of Indian tribes who had to tackle waterfalls, take their boats across country and navigate the Arctic ice-pack in search of fish and porpoises for food and fuel. The tribes of inland America developed a craft that is the closest to the racing canoes of today; wooden frames were covered with bark shells, which were then s
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.
