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

Photo: Steve Holland With trembling fingers and an edge to her voice, Paula Harvey knows she has to keep her emotions under control. Suddenly, she may be going to Athens. Harvey is one of two kayakers in the running for extra spots on the team after the Australian Canoeing Federation won an appeal to its international counterpart, meaning it could add an extra two women to its canoe and kayak team. Last night, the Australian selectors were debating which combination to add to the team. Harvey, 29, the national champion in the K1500 (one kayaker over 500 metres) for the past two years, is in contention, along with her new paddling partner, Lyndsie Fogarty, 20, for the vacancy that has arisen in the K2500. Susan Tegg is also in the mix, which made for a tense evening, awaiting the call from selectors.

Extractions: Canoeing is the recreational or sporting activity of paddling a canoe or kayak . It usually refers exclusively to using a paddle to propel a canoe or kayak with only human muscle power. A kayak is a closed-top boat and is propelled using a paddle with two blades, whereas canoes are open-topped boats (sometimes with a removable spray skirt) propelled using single- or double-bladed paddles. Confusingly, canoeing is used as a generic term for both forms. Recreational Other Forms ... edit The International Canoe Federation is a well known canoeing organization around the world. The ICF recognises several competitive and non-competitive disciplines of canoeing, of which Sprint and Slalom are the only two competing in the Olympic games. The United States Canoe Association is widely considered the American authority in sport and recreational canoeing, and recognizes many ICF classes. Sprint - the oldest discipline of ICF canoeing, sometimes referred to as "Racing". It involves principally kayaks , and some canoes . Flatwater races are over distances from 200 m to 1000 m. Slalom - Competitors are timed in completing a descent down the rapids of a whitewater course, in the process steering their canoes or kayaks through "gates" (a pair of suspended poles about 1m apart), including going up against the flow, across the flow, and surfing the standing waves of the rapids.
Extractions: A SHORT HISTORY Canoe/ka'nu/n-v. A long and narrow boat that is sharp at both ends, has curved sides, built of lightweight materials, and is propelled by hand-driven paddles. Average size is 17 feet long, 36 inches wide, and 13 inches deep. As for the word "canoe," it evolved from the Native American word "cana-oa,: according to Christopher Columbus. What Europeans call canoes, Americans call kayaks; what Americans call canoes are called Canadian canoes by the Europeans. The canoe was born when man discovered that he could ride a floating tree trunk on moving body of water. He then learned that he could propel his log better on still water or against a current by using a pole or flattened piece of wood as a paddle. By using primitive equipment to hack and burn his log, he found it was able to carry supplies. Dug out further, the craft became more easily portable and more readily propelled in either calm or swiftly moving waters. The white man could easily see how valuable the canoe was and used it a great deal during America's exploring years. The first white man's canoe factory was started in the 1600's and was situated on the St. Lawrence River. They made about 20 canoes a year, approx. 36 feet long, 5 1/2 feet wide, and 33 inches deep. They had a remarkable carrying capacity and earned an honored place in North American history. During Lewis and Clark's time, there was much trading of canoes for horses, and vice versa, depending on the terrain to be traveled. Lower COlumbia River Indians, who spent much of their lives in a canoe, were often referred to as "Canoe Indians."

Their first kayaks were made from wooden frames covered in sealskin. They included a small hole in the middle craft for the user to sit in and were primarily used for hunting. These early kayaks varied greatly in design from region to region. Two common ones are show at left. The top image is of a kayak from the Bering Strait area, which was short and wide, had a large storage capacity, and was very stable and easy to use. The lower one was designed by the Aleuts at it was long, fast, and seaworthy. The materials that have been used to make a kayak have changed significantly with the years. Many early kayaks used wooden frames covered in skin for their materials. However, with the ship's adoption by European settlers, they were covered in fabric. This method continued until the 1950's when fiberglass was introduced, and then in 1984, the first plastic kayak was made. At present, kayaks are sturdy, light, and very versatile. The modern interest in canoeing and kayaking as a recreation and sport was brought about by John MacGregor, who designed the Rob Roy in 1845, a canoe he based off sketchings of Inuit canoes and kayaks. MacGregor later formed the Canoe Club in 1866 with other canoe and kayak enthusiasts, and they brought about competitive canoeing with their first regatta in 1873. Kayaking became a part of the Olympics in 1936, with the introduction of four events, the single and pairs 1,000 meter and 10,000 meter race. Later, the white-water race and slalom events were added to the Olympics also.
