Canoeing at Olympic Games CANOEING AT OLYMPIC GAMES 1924 1936 – 2008 1 C A N O E I N G AT THE 1988 SUMMER OLYMPICS The 1988 Summer Olympics officially known as the Games of the XXIV Olympiad were held from September 17 to October 2, 1988 in Seoul, South Korea. They were the second summer Olympic Games to be held in Asia and the first since the 1964 Summer Olympics held in Tokyo, Japan. They were also the fourth Olympic Games to be held in autumn. In the Seoul Games, 160 nations were represented by a total of 8391 athletes: 6197 men and 2194 women. 237 events were held. 27221 volunteers helped to prepare the Olympics. 11331 media (4978 written press and 6353 broadcasters) showed the Games all over the world. These were the last Olympic Games for two of the world's "dominating" sport powers, Soviet Union and East Germany, as both ceased to exist before the next Olympic Games. North Korea, still officially at war with South Korea, and its allies, Albania, Cuba, Madagascar and Seychelles boycotted the games. For differing reasons, Ethiopia, Nicaragua, and Albania (who declared an Olympic-record fourth consecutive boycott) did not participate in the Games. However, the much larger boycotts seen in the previous three Summer Olympics were avoided, resulting in the largest ever number of participating nations to that date. Seoul was chosen to host the Summer Games in a vote held on September 30, 1981, finishing ahead of the Japanese city of Nagoya. Below was the vote count that occurred at the 84th IOC Session and 11th Olympic Congress in Baden-Baden, West Germany. There were: 160 NOC’s; 8 391 athletes (2194 women and 6197 men); 263 events in 27 sports. LOGO POSTER The Seoul emblem features a samtaeguk The official poster represented the pattern. A samtaeguk is a traditional Korean Games ideal of "Harmony and Progress" in the pattern and visual image which represents combination of two images. In the poster, the Korea. This pattern is widely used as five rings symbolising the pure Olympic spirit decoration on fans, gates of Korean-style were rendered in bright figurative form to homes, artefacts, and folk crafts. The Olympic represent the Olympic ideal illuminating the emblem features patterns in two forms, world in peace forever. The image of the centripetal and centrifugal; the centripetal runner carrying the Olympic torch symbolised motion represented the people of the world mankind's progress towards happiness and 2 coming together in Korea, thus symbolising prosperity. The official posters were done with worldwide harmony, while the centrifugal computer graphic techniques, and light blue motion represented a march onward in search and bright orange colours were blended to of man's lasting happiness and prosperity. symbolise Korea as the Land of Morning Calm. In addition to the official poster the Organising Committee for the Seoul Games decided to produce 27 types of sports posters to introduce sports of the Seoul Olympic Games and to establish a familiar image of the Games. MEDAL On the obverse, the ancient coliseum and the goddess of victory holding the laurel crowns and the caption: "XXIV Olympiad Seoul 1988". On the reverse , a dove, the symbol of peace, soaring up, holding a laurel branch in its mouth, and the Seoul Olympic sash composed of three Taeguk patterns from the Korean national flag and the five Olympic rings.

  • Olympic Canoe/Kayak Flatwater Medals & USA Results
    Olympic Canoe/Kayak Flatwater Medals & USA Results By Dan Henderson The goal of this paper is to provide the reader with a clear understanding of the history of USA Canoe/Kayak Sprint performance, and where it is trending. From the data it’s clear that the USA Team international performance has been in decline, and there’s not much farther down to go. The American Canoe Association, the National Governing Body for canoe/kayak racing in the United States, is tasked with a turnaround project to stop the decline and improve performance. I believe there’s a set of solutions and that those of us within the sport now can find it: that we can provide the opportunities for American youth to prepare for and successfully compete with the best in the world, that given the opportunity many American youth will step up to the challenge and prepare and compete. Fundamental is that national leadership initiate a discussion involving all stakeholders as to what is to be accomplished, and how to develop performance based structures and programs, to build an attitude of confidence and high expectations to move our nation’s performance forward in a positive direction. It is my hope that this paper will initiate that discussion.
