Canoeing and kayaking has been characteristic as a contest
sport in the Summer Olympic Games from the 1936 Games in Berlin even though it
was a turn of phrase sport at the 1924 Games in Paris.
There are two categories
of the canoeing in Summer Olympic events which are the sprint and slalom. In these
sport two techniques of boats are second-hand canoes with 1 or 2 canoes and
kayaks with 1, 2 or 4 kayakers. This is show the way to the name description of
each event. For instance C1 is a canoe singles event and K2 is a kayak twice
event.
Races are usually 500m or 1000m of the distance even though from 1936 to
1956there was also 10 km events. It was announced by the International Canoe
Federation that the men's 500 m events would be changed at the 2012 Summer
Olympics by 200 m events with one of them individual K1 200 m for the women On
13 August 2009. The other events for men at 200 m will be C1, C2, and K-1. On 5
December 2009 this was long-established at their 2009 Board of Directors
meeting in Windsor, Berkshire, Great Britain.
