K1 Men

Canoeing has three disciplines in Rio with Sprint and Slalom represented at the Olympic Games and Paracanoe making its debut at the Paralympic Games.

There are 22 gold medals up for grabs across the three disciplines with 12 in Sprint, six in Paracanoe and four in Slalom.

In 1924 Canoe Sprint made a splash as a demonstration sport at the Olympic Games in Paris. Then at the 1936 Berlin Games, sprint became one of the core sports and has remained ever since.
