Also, a canoe paddle has a flat blade on only one end of the paddle shaft while the kayak paddle is equipped with a curved blade on each end. When you watch the Games also notice that the slalom canoes, unlike regular canoes, are decked , meaning there is a spray skirt that keeps water out of the boat. Also, the slalom canoes and kayaks are shorter and wider than their sprint counterparts in order to be more maneuverable. There are two distinct disciplines in the canoe/kayak competitions: slalom and sprint . The dramatic slalom competitions are held on whitewater while sprints are flat out races on flat water. The slalom didn't make its Olympic debut until in Munich and because of the costs associated with building the courses it didn't return until Barcelona in . It can be tough to find a naturally occurring course suitable for the events. In fact, Atlanta

Extractions: Sydney 2000 Olympics - Sports Menu - Website accessibility Demonstration showing two options for implementing Website accessibility guidelines in the menu of sports By Tom Worthington http://www.tomw.net.au/2000/sports.html The purpose of this document is to demonstrate methods for implementing Website accessibility guidelines for the Olympic games web site . Specifically methods to provide a text alternative for the menu of sports is shown. In this implementation, a ALT tag with the name of the sport is added to each rectangular region of the existing image map. As an example, alt="Archery" is added to the first area: < AREA shape="rect" coords="1,1,80,12" href=http://www.olympics.com/eng/sports/AR/home.html" alt="Archery" There is no change in the appearance of the menu for most users. However, the effect of including the ALT tags is that a browser can display the text labels in place of the graphics, if required: Simple hypertext links are used for the name of each sport: Archery These instructions could be used in a simple list of sports, or in a table as show below. The list has been changed to run alphabetically across the columns, rather than down, to aid braille readers (which read one line of horizontal text at a time). The colour of the table background and text can be changed to match that of the current graphic. However, those colours may be difficult for some people to read:
