Canoe Sprint

Canoe sprint is a competitive sport where athletes race on calm water over short distances, typically using a canoe or kayak. The goal is to reach the finish line ahead of opponents as quickly as possible, demonstrating speed, strength, and technique. Races are held on straight courses with designated lanes, and competitors use paddles to propel their boats efficiently. It's an Olympic discipline that emphasizes endurance, power, and precision, often featuring individual or team events over distances like 200, 500, and 1000 meters.
