canoeing

If the Seine is still deemed unsuitable, organisers said marathon swimming can be moved to Vaires-sur-Marne, east of Paris, where the rowing and canoeing competitions take place.

Woods found salvation through canoeing after enduring bullying which led to depression and self-harm.

This time round only 15 Russians have been competing in Paris as "neutral athletes" in sports like canoeing and tennis.

Instead of the usual Olympic slalom canoeing against the clock, paddlers race each other to the finish.

That Woods, who claimed her first individual world title at Lee Valley last September, has little sense of what will happen at Paris 2024 is a fitting tribute to canoeing's latest Olympic addition.
