Notes

Tokyo 2020, sprayskirts worn by Jirí PRSKAVEC (CZE), Olympic champion in the K1, and Mallory FRANKLIN (GBR), silver medallist in the canoe slalom. Sprayskirts or spraydecks may or may not be attached to the boat; either way, they are designed to stop water entering the hull of the canoe. Traditionally, Inuit hunting boats were kept waterproof by placing a soft covering around the waist of the paddler. Donated by the athletes
