Olympic Canoe/Kayak C-1 Manuevers

Olympic paddlers can make their canoes or kayaks do seemingly impossible maneuvers. Here we see Nico Bettge and Jan Benzien of Germany show the amount of balance and strength that is required to be an Olympic canoeist. Having this amount of boat control is absolutely essential when paddling through rapids. Should the canoeist find themselves upside down, they will need the ability to quickly and safely roll themselves back up.
