Introduction

You’ve heard of the Tour de France and Ironman races, but have you ever heard of cross-country canoeing? Or skateboarding across the Atlantic Ocean? If you want to take part in the next big sporting event, here’s what you can look forward to:

Cross-country canoeing

Cross-country canoeing is a sport in which human powered watercraft are used to compete both on flatwater and on rough waters, such as those found in whitewater. In some countries, it’s also known as canoeing, kayaking or Canadian canoeing.

The sport first evolved out of the need for hunting tools by indigenous peoples and later seafarers like Vikings and French colonists who used them as transportation around bodies of water. Cross-country canoeing has been included in the Olympic Games since 1924 and has become increasingly popular over time with more races taking place each year worldwide than any other individual sporting activity according to Forbes Magazine’s list of most popular sports worldwide (ranked 8th).

Skateboarding

Skateboarding is an extreme sport and a type of board sports. It consists of riding and performing tricks on a skateboard, as well as a form of transportation. Skateboarding can be used for fun, but it can also be used to get around when you don’t have access to other transportation options.
