Flatwater Canoeing
Flat water canoeing icon

Flatwater racing is also known as sprint canoeing. Race categories vary by the number of athletes in the boat, the length of the course, and whether the boat is a canoe or kayak, with the fastest boat winning the competition. In a kayak, the paddler is seated in the direction of travel, and uses a double-bladed paddle. In a canoe the paddler kneels on one knee with the other leg forward and foot flat on the floor of the boat, and paddles a single-bladed paddle on one side.
