Canoeing Sport

Canoeing is a type of paddle sport. In this type, the rider kneels or sits facing forward in an open or a closed-decked canoe. The rider propes the canoe using a single-bladed paddle.

There is no scoring process in place in Canoe Sprint. It is simply a case of powering the boat to reach the finish line in the fastest possible time in order to win the race. Races can sometimes be neck-and-neck right up until the end and when this happens it may require a “photo finish” to determine which athlete/team won the race. Whichever boat’s bow (tip or end of the boat) crosses the line first is awarded the win.

The winner of a Canoe Sprint race is the athlete/team that reaches the finish line first. In the Olympics, there are initially a series of “heat” races held. The better the athlete/team performs in the heats, the greater chance they have of making it to the final race, where the boat that crosses the finish line before any other is awarded the gold medal.

Winners of a heat or semi-final will be assigned the central lanes in the subsequent races. If there is a tie between two boats, both will progress to the next race, with one of the boats competing in the spare lane known as the “0” lane. If there are not enough lanes to accommodate all boats, 스포츠토토  the boats that tied will compete in another race to determine who will go through. If there is a tie in the final, both athletes/teams will be awarded gold.
