1992 Summer Olympics / Canoe
At the XXV. At the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona there were 16 canoeing competitions (twelve for men and four for women) . The two disciplines canoe slalom and canoe racing were represented.
The fastest boats in the canoe races on the new regatta course in Castelldefels were painted pink. In the twelve competitions held, the German starters took home half of the gold medals. There were two Olympic victories in a two-man kayak over 500 and 1000 meters for Kay Bluhm and Torsten Gutsche from Berlin , who had already escaped their pursuers three seconds at halftime on the longer route but were only just ahead of the Swedish boat at the finish. The German kayak four also won gold and relegated the boats from Hungary and Australia to their places. In the singles competitions in the kayak, the Finn Mikko Kolehmainen over 500 meters and the Australian Clint Robinson over 1000 meters were able to secure the gold medals.
In the women's category, Birgit Schmidt , better known by her maiden name Fischer, was able to repeat her Olympic victory from Moscow twelve years earlier in a single kayak . Together with Katrin Borchert and the Olympic champions in two, Ramona Portwich and Anke von Seck , she also won silver in four. All they had to do was give in to the Hungarian boat.
In the races in the Canadier , in which the athletes kneel in their boats, the Bulgarian Nikolai Buchalow was the outstanding participant. He won both gold medals in the 500 and 1000 meters. In the two-man canoe, the relatively unknown Belarusians Aljaksandr Massjajkou and Dsmitryj Dauhaljonak won over the shorter distance ahead of the two German Ulrich Papke and Ingo Spelly , who in turn celebrated the Olympic victory over 1000 meters the next day.
After canoe slalom was part of the Olympic program in Munich in 1972 , the athletes were able to prove themselves in four boat classes on the newly built slalom course in La Seu d'Urgell . The medals all went to different nations. The men's single kayak was won by the Italian Pierpaolo Ferrazzi , while Elisabeth Micheler from Augsburg won the women 's kayak during a violent thunderstorm . The Olympic champion in the canoe one was Lukáš Pollert from the ČSFR and in the canoe two the boat from the USA won.
