From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Canoeing was a
demonstration sport at the
1924 Summer Olympics in
Paris. It was the first time that the sport was part of the Olympic program, and it would become a full medal sport 12 years later at the
1936 Games.
The
French Olympic Committee, as hosts of these Games, asked the
Canadian Olympic Committee to demonstrate the sport in Paris. Races were arranged between the
Canadian Canoe Association and the
Washington Canoe Club from the
United States. Events were held for each of 1, 2, and 4 paddlers for both single-end
paddles (modern canoe style) and double-end paddles (modern
kayak style).
