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.

Canoe Racing - Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia forms of the two canoeing disciplines that feature in the Summer olympics, the other being canoe/kayak slalom. Marathon racing is not an olympic sport. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canoe_racing
Extractions: This article discusses flatwater racing (sprint) and marathon racing , competitive forms of canoeing and kayaking on more or less flat water. Both sports are discussed here together, as equipment and paddling technique are very similar, if not identical. Both sports are governed by the International Canoe Federation (ICF). Flatwater racing (sprint), which is referred to by the IOC as " canoe/kayak flatwater ", is one of the two forms of the two canoeing disciplines that feature in the Summer Olympics , the other being canoe/kayak slalom . Marathon racing is not an Olympic sport. edit Flatwater racing takes place on a straight course divided in lanes, on calm water. The distances recognised by the ICF for international races are 200 m, 500 m, and 1000 m. Each boat has his own designated lane, except for races over more than 1000 m, where there also may be turning points. Men race in canoes and in kayaks, women only in kayaks. For each race a number of heats, semi-finals and a final may be necessary, depending on the number of competitors.
