Extractions: 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. 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.

Adolf Hitler immediately seized on the games as an opportunity to showcase the efficiency and might of his regime. There were doubts in many quarters about the wisdom of attending the Berlin Olympics. An alternative, to be called the "People's Olympics," was actually scheduled for Barcelona, but that plan was destroyed by the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War. In the United States, a move to boycott the Olympics was led by Judge Jeremiah T. Murphy, president of the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU). Murphy and his supporters were concerned chiefly about Nazi anti-Semitism, since Jewish sports clubs throughout Germany had been shut down. However, in 1935 the AAU voted by a narrow margin to sanction participation and Murphy resigned. He was replaced by Avery Brundage, who went to Germany on an inspection tour and reported that everything looked just fine. Despite the preliminary doubts and the growing international tensions that were to culminate in World War II, the leaders of the Third Reich were at pains to make these Games a resounding success and welcomed more athletes (4069) from more countries (49) than any previous Olympics to compete in events from August 1 - 16.

Extractions: Canoe/Kayak Sport History Since ancient times, cultures across the world have used the canoe for transportation and sport alike. In the American Pacific Northwest, native American tribesmen carved dugout canoes from whole trees that were large enough to carry as many as 50 people. Further North, Aleuts and other Arctic peoples built kayaks from a framework of whalebone and driftwood, over which were stretched sea lion skins treated with whale fat. The boats were a crucial part of Eskimo survival, necessary for fishing and hunting. Later, early European colonists in the New World built canoes of bark to navigate the wild rivers of North America. 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.

When only two competitors remained and she was still on top, she turned around to see her husband/coach Eric grinning from ear to ear. The smile on her face was as big as only an Olympic medalist could smile. She knew she had at least won a bronze medal and would be etched in Olympic history forever. In the end, she won the silver, and immediately the fluster of activity surrounding the medal ceremony began. Congratulations, Rebecca Giddens, 2004 Olympic Silver Medalist!!!

Extractions: Canoeing and Kayaking Canoes and kayaks bring to mind serene images of gliding down a calm river or across a cool lake. However, canoe and kayak contests can be fiercely competitive. Racers speed past the finish line only fractions of seconds apart. For both canoe and kayak contests, there are two types of competitions: "sprints" in (calm) flatwater and "slaloms" in (more turbulent) whitewater. There are more differences between the sports of canoeing and kayaking than one might imagine. Kayaks are closed, except for the small cockpit where the paddler sits. Flatwater canoes are open. In whitewater races, kayaks are equipped with water-tight sprayskirts. Kayakers use double-bladed paddles while canoeists use one with a single-blade, paddling alternately from side to side. Canoeists kneel as they paddle, while kayakers sit in their boats with their legs extended forward.

Extractions: E-MAIL: rhino@main.nc.us Ed NRC History Why Rhinos? The Nantahala Racing Club (NRC) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the promotion and development of whitewater canoe and kayak sport. The NRC assists athletes of every age, level and ability in their preparation for national and international competition including US Team Trials, National Championships, World Championships, World Cup, and the Olympic Games. Located in the mountains of Western North Carolina on the Nantahala River, NRC has long been one of whitewater slalom's premier training sites. The whitewater of the Nantahala River, the proximity to the Ocoee River and nearby Western Caronlina University all have made NRC one of the top competitive paddle-sport clubs in the nation. As a whitewater site, the Nantahala is home to several annual competitions including the Glacier Breaker Slalom and Downriver Race; the Bank of America Whitewater US Open; and the Jiffy Slalom. NRC hosted the 2004 and 2005 Junior National Team Trials and several Junior Olympic Regional Qualifiers. NRC was also designated as a USA Canoe/Kayak (USACK) Center of Excellence which signifies it preminence and importance to the development of competitive whitewater paddlers.

A silver medallist. Caroline Brunet has to settle for being an Olympic bridesmaid once again. Somehow, it just doesn't sound right for the woman who hadn't lost a K1 500 race in more than two years and is referred to as the "queen of kayaking." Italy's Josefa Idem Guerrini, Brunet's worthiest competition during the past couple of years, paddled the best race today, winning in a bloated time of 2:13.848 while Brunet finished second in a time of 2:14.646. Idem had the fastest time of all the qualifiers going into the final. Katrin Borchert of Australia won the bronze. A normal pace for the K1 500 is about 1:50.
