Extractions: The quadruple kayak will be among the events in Athens Canoeing can be traced back several thousand years as one of the oldest forms of human transport. The earliest canoes were constructed from animal skins and tree bark, with modern designs the descendants of those used by North American indigenous cultures. "Kayak" is the Canadian Inuit word for a sealskin-decked canoe, while "canoe" comes from the Canadian Indian birch-bark vessel. Today's sport is a product of 19th century Britain, with Scottish barrister John MacGregor introducing the modern decked kayak to London's River Thames in the late 1850s and early 1860s. McGregor founded the Royal Canoe Club in 1866 and the first competitions were held in the same year. In North America, the more durable open canoe was more popular and by the 1890s virtually replaced the decked canoe for both single-blade and double-blade paddling.

Extractions: One of the most impressive events to watch at the Games, especially the events held on whitewater. That's water that moves extremely quickly downhill and has whirlpools and waterfalls in it to make it tough for the canoeists. The competitors have to go down the course and get through a series of gates in order without hitting any of them. Sometimes they need to fight their way upstream against the current, which is very tough. There are also flat water events where the competitors are placed in lanes and have to race each other across distances of either 500m or 1,000m. Who are the British hopes for Athens? New Zealander Ben Fouhy will be a big rival to Brabants in the K1 1,000m and as the second fastest paddler of all time over the distance, will be very tough to beat. Szilvia Szabo and Kinga Bota are three-time world champions in the doubles kayak over 500m and will be hoping to do better than their silver at the Sydney Games.
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.

The origins of the sport of Canoeing can be traced as far back as five thousand years ago, in prehistoric times, when people crossed rivers and lakes in boats. Todayâs kayak is a descendant of the Eskimo sealskin kayak. The canoe comes from the Canadian Indian birch-bark canoe. Impetus was given to the sport by a British lawyer, John MacGregor, in the second half of the nineteenth century. After studying the construction of ancient kayaks, he constructed a similar craft for use on European rivers and lakes. In 1866 he founded the Royal Canoe Club; the first competitions were held in the same year. Competitive Canoe/kayak flatwater racing is a relatively new sport. The International Canoe Federation (ICF), founded in 1924, is the sportâs 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 menâs Canoe / Kayak flatwater racing disciplines were first included in the Olympic Games competition schedule in 1936 in Berlin, while the womenâs disciplines were included in 1948 in London. The first European Championship took place in 1933 at Prague.Â

"Maximize your potential when you're out there," coach Dave Fort told Wirsching and 13 teammates on the floor of the Green Lake Small Craft Center. "Make each stroke count." Wirsching, 16, a member of the Seattle Canoe and Kayak Club, didn't need to be told. He knew of the potential at the USA Canoe/Kayak National Championships, which run through Saturday at Green Lake. The championships feature 186 racers from 13 teams competing in one-, two- and four-person canoe and kayak races up to 5,000 meters. Some are past Olympians. Others, like Wirsching, are Rudys hoping to come home with gold.

Extractions: Canoe/Kayak Select another sport Archery Baseball Canoe/Kayak Cycling Gymnastics Swimming Taekwondo Triathlon 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 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 got its start as a recreational sport in the 19th century with 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 the following year and by 1868 boasted 300 enthusiasts and 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.
