Canoeing is divided into two main disciplines: sprint and slalom, each with distinct characteristics and competitive formats. Sprint canoeing focuses on speed over flatwater courses, emphasizing power and endurance, while slalom canoeing involves navigating through a series of gates on whitewater courses, requiring technical skill and agility. This division allows for a broader range of skills and challenges, catering to different athletes and preferences in the sport. Additionally, it enables a more diverse representation of canoeing in competitions, including the Olympics.
