Rowing is canoe in English, which means canoe. In many places in Europe and America, kayaking and rowing are collectively referred to as canoe. Since the English name of kayaking is related to Eskimos, its origin must be inseparable. Long ago, kayak was not a tool for entertainment. It was invented and made by the Eskimos in Greenland.
They found that the toughness of whale skin or otter skin was very good, so they wrapped it on a bone shelf and rowed it with oars with blades at both ends. This invention has brought great convenience to their life and has become a common tool in Eskimo life, which is deeply loved by people. The hometown of rowing is Canada, so it is also called Canadian rowing.
In fact, if we go back to the source, these two kinds of boats should have evolved from canoes. Therefore, some countries and regions in Southeast Asia, such as South Korea and North Korea, call canoes canoes. The international Rowing Federation also has a clear statement that rowing originated from canoes of North American Indians. Modern kayaking was born in 1865. A clever Scotsman, McGregor, took canoe as his blueprint.
He imitated a small boat, and his behavior has attracted people's attention. In the process of making it, many people have come to visit it. Rowing, windsurfing (surfing) training and guidance, and then the high-profile boat had a name, nob noy. It is more than 4.5 meters long, less than 1 meter wide and weighs about 30 kilograms. In 1865, McGregor decided to sail the boat around Europe.
For the next two years, Nobu and noy had been with him day and night. After the wonderful trip, the book "a journey of thousands of miles in nobuyi" was born under the pen of McGregor. It has played a positive role in promoting canoeing. In 1867, the British Royal canoeing club founded by McGregor held the first canoeing competition with the efforts of a flying enthusiast.
The kayak structure has been further improved. At the end of the 19th century, an engineer from Germany made a great contribution to the development of kayaking. His name is Herman. He has been interested in flying since childhood. According to his many years of flying experience, he made the kayak into a fish shape. This change has greatly improved the ship's speed. Later, British boat maker frond found that the longer the hull, the smaller the resistance.
The faster the speed, so the shipbuilders actively adopted this ship type. The length of the rowboat was officially determined in 1923. Denmark, Sweden, Austria and other countries have formed a working committee, which stipulates that the length of the boat is 52 meters and the width is 51 cm. At the 11th modern Olympic Games, kayaking officially entered the Olympic family. At this games, there were 9 competitions.
According to the actual competition situation, the rules of sports are constantly changing. At the 17th Olympic Games in Rome, kayaking cancelled all 1000 long-distance competitions and increased men's 4 × 500m kayak relay race and women's 500m double kayak. The change continues. In 964, the relay race was changed to men's 1000 meter four person kayak. In the same year, the International Union of cartoonists formulated the rule of "no concave".
Standardization of boat design FRP boats appeared in 1972. Canoeing appeared in the Munich Olympic Games in the same year, but due to the high cost, the project withdrew from the Olympic Games after the Munich Olympic Games. Since then, it was not until the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games that the slalom returned to the Olympic Games. In the 21st Olympic Games, four events were added to the kayaking project, namely 500m single kayak.
500m double kayak, 500m single rowboat, 500m double rowboat. The women's 500 meter four person kayak was added to the Los Angeles Olympic Games in 1998. In the 25th Olympic Games, kayak competition was resumed, and the CIS won only one gold medal. Sailing and windsurfing has certain excitement. It integrates entertainment, appreciation and exploration, so it is deeply favored by people.
One of the essential factors of sailing and windsurfing is wind. During the competition, athletes use the force of natural wind on the sails to push the sails forward. The early British called the sailboat yachting, which followed the Dutch name. Today, people still have two pronunciations, that is, the pronunciation of English and Dutch, which has been changed to sailing in recent years.
Engaging in sailing has many benefits to the human body. For example, long-term sailing can make the body stronger and the will tempered. At present, it has become a favorite sport in coastal countries and regions of the world, especially by young people. In addition, it also plays a strong role in promoting the exchange of marine culture among the people of all countries.
