[an error occurred while processing this directive] SOURCE: USCKT Factboook Go To Canoe and Kayak Section About the Sport Canoe/Kayak is a visually dramatic outdoor lifetime sport with a strong demographic base including more than 14 million recreational participants. Paddlesports appeals to a diverse audience, including risk-taking Whitewater paddlers, sea kayaking professionals escaping urban pressures, families enjoying canoe outings on placid lakes and fitness conscious individuals crossing over from skiing, mountain biking and roller blading. USCKT sponsors and manages the two Olympic disciplines, Whitewater slalom and flatwater sprint. Whitewater Slalom Flatwater Sprint In slalom, paddlers negotiate a 25 gate course suspended over stretches of Whitewater rapids 300 to 600 meter long. The athletes attempt to negotiate the series of upstream and downstream gates as quickly as possible without accruing time penalties for touching poles or missing gates. There are four Whitewater slalom medal events on the Olympic program: men’s single canoe, men’s double canoe, men’s single kayak and women’s single kayak. In non-Olympic years, there are numerous national and international competitions, including the Champion International Whitewater Series Sponsored by USCKT and Champion International Corporation), U.S. Team Trials and U.S. National Championship events. Making only its third appearance in the Olympic Games, the discipline of Whitewater slalom holds tremendous promise for the United States in 1996. After a gold medal performance in C-2 and a bronze in K-1 W in 1992, the U.S. is looking stronger across the board than it ever has. There are several reasons for the U.S. to be optimistic entering the Atlanta Games: the C-2 team of Fritz and Lecky Haller, who reunited in the wake of the Barcelona Games and have steadily built themselves back to the form which won them the C-2 world title in 1983; Scott Shipley and Rich Weiss in K-1, both of whom have mounted the medal stand in recent World Cup or World Championship competition; David Hearn and Jon Lugbill in C-1, who established the U.S. as a dominant power in the sport in the 1980s; and Dana Chladek and Cathy Hearn in K-1W, who continue to keep the Americans a threat in women’s kayak.

CANOE/KAYAK REPORT Wednesday, September 20 Ratcliffe fights back for silver From Simon Barnes in Sydney At the very last it was England against Germany and, of course, it came down to penalties. So naturally, you already know who came second: Paul Ratcliffe, Britain’s Great Whitewater Hope, performed a wild high-risk skedaddle down the great sluicing hill of water, and had to settle for silver in the men’s kayak singles slalom. He did so with more disappointment than delight. He knew that a gold was in his grasp. He knew that it was taken from him by the Great Olympic Twitch. As well as picking up the penalties, he had a spectacular capsize at the end of his first run, and only just managed to rescue himself from disaster and disqualification. He righted himself just a half-second before crossing the line; had he failed to do so, he would have been disqualified. As it was, it was a time-consuming manoeuvre, since you can’t really paddle your fastest upside down, even in Australia. "It’s never happened to me before," he said. The fact that it happened here was not a matter of chance - just a classic example of the Great Olympic Twitch. It is highly to his credit that he recovered from this blow to take the silver.

Jack Pyburn, a local rower, learned the rowing venue the Atlanta Committee for the Olympic Games (ACOG) had selected was in jeopardy. Jim and Jack worked to convince the International Rowing Federation to bring the venue to Lanier. ACOG was approached and lobbied by Jim and Steve Gilliam, Vice Chair of Gainesville Hall ‘96. They were successful. The full Gainesville Hall ‘96 Committee consisted of 35 dedicated community members who provided immeasurable support through providing a functioning office, merchandising, volunteers, Olympic housing, test event support, club support, fundraising, legal advice, and anything else that might arise! Executive Director, Mary Hart Wilheit, gracefully managed the office. Following the 1996 Olympic Games Gainesville Hall ‘96 became the Gainesville Hall ‘96 Foundation consisting of 12 members chaired by Jim Mathis. The boathouse, timing tower and racecourse remain as a permanent Olympic legacy - a gift to the local community. The Venue is co-owned by the City of Gainesville and Hall County, and is leased to the Gainesville Hall ‘96 Foundation. The construction of the facility was funded by ACOG. The land belongs to the Corp of Engineers. The Lake Lanier Rowing Club and the Lanier Canoe and Kayak Club (LCKC) sublease the facilities. Gainesville Parks and Recreation and Hall County Parks and Leisure Departments assist with maintenance to the buildings and grounds and are the liaison with the city and county governments. No tax dollars are committed to the operation of the facility or programs. The clubs work in cooperation, but run separate programs.

The expanded competition was announced today by the Australian Olympic Committee (AOC) which has committed $3 million to stage the five day event from the 8 th th of January 2003. "Our first Olympic Festival in 2001 was a resounding success and more sports have been added this time round" said AOC Secretary General Bob Elphinston. "Such is the popularity of the AYOF 25 of the 28 summer Sports Federations wanted to participate and ultimately the AOC would like to include them all" he said. The new sports added to the 2003 program are Archery, Badminton, Fencing, Judo, Shooting, Softball, Table Tennis, Tae Kwon Do, Water Polo, Weightlifting and Wrestling, "Badminton, Fencing, Judo and Wrestling are sports where we are less developed and looking to improve" Elphinston said. The AOC has invited all countries from the East Asian Region and it’s expected Australia’s future Olympians will compete against teams from China, Japan and South Korea. "These countries are the world super powers in many of those disciplines," he said.
