London Olympics 2012 Canoe Sprint Live Stream Online, Results : Requiring sustained bursts of speed and power, Canoe Sprint at the London 2012 Games will offer thrilling, down-to-the-wire finishes. Canoe Sprint events are head-to-head races conducted on still water, as opposed to the white-water time trials of the Canoe Slalom competition. In canoes, athletes race single (men’s C1) or in pairs (men’s C2). In kayaks, athletes race either single (men’s K1 and women’s K1), in pairs (men’s K2 and women’s K2) or in fours (men’s K4 and women’s K4).
Competition dates:
Monday 6 – Saturday 11 August
Competition venue:
Eton Dorney, Buckinghamshire
Number of medal events
12 – men’s and women’s events covering distances of 200m, 500m or 1,000m, either solo, in pairs or in crews of four. Two types of boats are used: canoes, in which athletes use a single-bladed paddle from a kneeling position; and kayaks, in which the competitors sit in the boat and use a paddle with two blades.
Number of competitors
246: 158 men and 88 women
Each country is limited to one boat in each event, which equates to a total of 18 athletes (12 men and six women) across all events.
Field of play
The lake at Eton Dorney is 2,200m long, with nine lanes. However, only eight lanes will be used for Olympic competition (unless a tie in a qualifying race results in a ninth boat progressing to the next round). Athletes race over distances from 200m to 1,000m.
