Canoe Sprint
Canoe sprint is a water sport in which athletes race canoes or kayaks on calm water.

Longer marathon races do exist, notably the 5000m (also an ICF-recognized distance) – these usually have athletes starting in a large pack at a start line before paddling around a set course with marked turning points (there are no assigned lanes). For each race a number of heats, semi-finals and a final may be necessary, depending on the number of competitors. The sport is governed by the International Canoe Federation. The International Canoe Federation is the worldwide canoeing organization and creates ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
