I don’t really see what looks odd or weird about mixed boats in canoe sprint. I would be interested to hear from athletes how the dynamics differ or match the gendered events.

canoe is a sport where strenght plays a decisive role.

 

how can you match a man and a woman's strenght to have a perfectly balanced stroke?

 

it's impossible. therefore this kind of event shouldn't exist, it's not like those competitions where the result of a mixed event is basically the addition of separated performances by men and women (even when they happen in the same race, like in biathlon or swimming).

No, I understand that aspect. However, that’s why I think the event has an interesting dynamic. It definitely shouldn’t replace any of the gendered events, but if multi-sport games organizers want to included those boats as additional events (with no extra quotas needed), then I don’t really have a problem with it.

Okay, what’s the deal with the horn blare at the start of competitions. I swear I heard that same noise in Europe when I was over there…
