Men's Canoe Double 1000m - Heat 1 | London 2012 Olympics

Highlights of Heat 1 of the Men's Canoe Double 1000m from Eton Dorney during the London 2012 Olympic Games.
In 1924 in Paris, flatwater canoeing featured at the Games as a demonstration sport. Canoe and kayak racing became full medal sports at the 1936 Berlin Games. However events were initially limited to canoe sprint until canoe slalom made its debut at the 1972 Munich Games. Slalom racing was not competed again in the Olympic Games until the 1992 Barcelona Games.

You need to start with kayaking before canoeing to learn the balance on the boat 🛶

[@mythic_fci762]

These are canoe races, though the official name for both canoe and kayak races are 'canoe sprint' (even though both boats are quite different and require different technique).

[@lacyswart4919]

Miss B it's canoeing because they have a paddle with one blade and in kayaking they have a paddle with two blades
