Boating

Canoe Sprint was added the Olympic program as a full medal sport in 1936 at the Olympic Games in Berlin. The best finish for a U.S. Team member was by Ernie Riedel, who won a bronze in the K-1 10,000m.

Canoe sprint has two different types of craft, the kayak and the canoe. The kayak probably originates from Greenland, where it was used by the Eskimos, primarily for hunting, fishing and transportation. The canoe was used all over the world as a method of transportation, trade and war.
