Although flat-water canoe and kayak racing is similar to rowing, slalom events are highly specialized and more like downhill mountain biking requires quick reactions, timing, dexterity and physical strength.
The athletes go through a 400 m long slalom on turbulent white-water river as fast, having to stop, hold their position despite the rapid currents and adapt their lessons for the next in the tight, twisting sequence of 20 -- 25 doors.
The events are organized by both closed head boats (in which athletes paddle while kneeling) and kayaks (in which athletes paddle seated). Men and women compete in individual events kayak, while only men competed in the single and double canoe.
