Davies had signed the gold medal register and was about to take part in the medal ceremony when, after 11 minutes of deliberations, judges decided to give the race to American Greg Barton. They ruled the American had beaten Davies by just five one-thousandths of a second.

The canoe paddler kneels to paddle while the kayaker paddles sitting down. 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. Did You Know?

Olympic Trivia Robinson Aims For Dual Gold by Neville Oliver The selection of the Australian team of 17 for the Atlanta Olympics caused a storm of protest from competitors who were overlooked for the squad. They included former world champion, Martin Hunter, and Iron Man, Trevor Hendy. Hopefully this serves to emphasise the strength of the party who will compete in Atlanta. Clearly, Australia's major medal chance lies with defending Olympic champion in the K1 1000, Clint Robinson of Queensland. At last year's World Championships he gained a silver medal in the event, emphasising his standing as a world class competitor. In the men's K4 1000, the crew of Paul Lynch, Brian Morton, Peter Scott (all from NSW) and Andrew Trim of Queensland finished fourth in the world last year. This boat has always given Australia an Olympic medal hope, and that is again the case for Atlanta.

HOC Plenary Session Canoe-Kayak is here to stay By Yiorgos Roussakis Canoeing is a sport that first appeared in Greece on the occasion of the Athens 2004 Olympic Games, but it seems it will continue to attract public's interest and it will seek to gain its own share in the Greek history of sports. Andreas Kiligaridis wrote the first page of the Greek canoeing history. Kiligaridis took the 13th place in the 500 meters of the single-seated canoe at the 2000 Olympics in Sidney. Kiligaridis is still the only competent oarsman and Greece hopes he gets a distinction at the 2004 Olympics. After Sidney Olympics he works very hard aiming at the first six places in the final and finally at a medal. Canoeing was born thousands of years ago in the lakes and rivers of Canada as a mean of transport for the indigenes. Canoeing events are included in the Olympic program

The U.S. Whitewater Slalom Canoe Team of Joe Jacobi and Matt Taylor have been selected to carry the torch when it passes through Atlanta, Georgia, on Friday, June 18th.

At about 8:30 p.m., Jacobi will carry the torch through the Atlanta Underground just before it arrives in Centennial Olympic Park for the Torch Celebration. "To run with the torch in my hometown, particularly given Atlanta's Olympic history, is a special honor," said Taylor, who competed in his first Olympics in 2000.

Home Trips School Accommodations ... In the North MORE INFORMATION Maps Links Books Home ... Sea Kayak The History of the Sea Kayak and the Sport The exact origin of the kayak is unknown, but we do know that the first people to navigate with kayaks were the Eskimos. It is believed to be the oldest type of boat that is still employed today, estimating over 3,000 years old. Kayaks were utilized by the Aleuts (inhabitants of the Aleutian archipelago near Alaska), the Inuits of Northern Canada, the Norse of Greenland and Iceland, Lapons in Northern Europe, and the Koryak and Chukchi tribes in Siberia. According to some historians, the word kayak means "clothing for going in the water" since it was built to the exact measurements of the paddler. Other historians say it means "man-small boat". Nowadays, many paddlers maintain that you "put on" a kayak, not get in one. In the Eskimo society, children could not navigate these boats until they became older and reached their maximum growth. Then, almost like a ritual, the family constructed a kayak especially for the child. It was said that if an Eskimo went out to hunt and did not return, he had borrowed the boat.
