CANOE FLATWATER

CANOE FLATWATER



The event depends on the number of athletes on the boat, the length of the course, and whether the boat is canoeing or kayaking. Canoe sprints are sometimes called open water races.


The canoe sprint sees participants race against each other on a flat course at a distance between 200 and 1000 meters.


There are two types of boats: a canoe in which a player uses a single blade paddle in a kneeling position to tie the boat with a string, and a kayak in which the player uses a double blade paddle while sitting.


Most races are individual events, and the Olympic Games also have a canoe for two and a kayak class for four.


History

Under the former name of plain water canoeing, canoe sprinting was adopted as a demonstration event at the 1924 Paris Olympics. It became an official event for the first time at the 1936 Berlin Olympics. 스포츠토토


How to play

The players form teams of two per canoe, and both teams get one ball.

The host shouts for a task or challenge and then blows the whistle.

At the whistle, each team runs to perform the task.

The team will receive 1 point if they complete the task first.

The first team to score 12 points wins.



Kayaking

In kayaking, the rower sits in the direction of movement and uses a two-edged paddle. The kayak has a rudder for steering and course adjustment, which is operated by the foot of a rower in the front. The commonly used paddle is the 'wing paddle' (standard asymmetric paddle may also be used). The wing paddle has a wing or spoon-shaped blade to create lift and increase stroke strength and stability. There are various types of wing paddles. From longer and narrower options for greater stability throughout the entire stroke to more extreme 'teardrop' shaped paddles to apply more force at the start of the stroke.



Canoe

In the canoe, the rower knelt on one knee, the other leg facing forward, the foot flat on the bottom of the boat, and only on one side row a single blade known as the "J stroke" to steer the boat. In Canada, racing classes exist for the C-15, WC or "war canoe", and there are also similarly designed C-4s (far shorter and more squats than the 'International' C-4). The old boat class is the C-7, similar to the large C4 first introduced by the ICF, but with little success. For racing canoes, the blades are usually short and wide, with a 'power face' that is flat or pointed on one side. The shaft is usually longer than the falling canoe paddle, and the kneeling position holds the paddle higher than the surface. Canoe racing paddles with more recent designs often have slightly curved axes, typically 12-14 degrees. (1960 s concept by canoe designer Eugene Jensen). While many high-performance canoeists prefer the feeling of a wooden handle with carbon fiber shafts and blades, almost all high-performance kayak rowers use oars that are completely made of carbon fiber
