Snowboarding: Check. Skiing: Check. It's time for a new extreme Olympic sport in the snow. Since 1998, ice skating has been on the program during the Olympic Games, and we call for ice kayaking to be introduced as soon as possible.
Ice kayaking – the word says it all – is descending from a snowy mountain in a kayak. The more snow powder, the better. Any hills and slopes provide great jumps and tricks.
Ice kayaking at altitude
This sport has been on the rise in the United States and Canada for some time and has now also spread to Europe. In the video below, Spanish kayaker Miquel Sarasola braves the Pyrenees in his kayak.
As you can see, Sarasola uses a bladeless paddle. Actually just stick to the necessary balance, so. In the race below, where the speeds are a little lower, they use blades on their paddles.
Scene during the Olympic Games
Just like skiing and snowboarding, the sport can be divided into different disciplines, such as racing, slopestyle, freestyle, etc. Ice kayaking is sure to provide the Olympics with an added spectacle. The photos below confirm this.
Will ice kayaking become an Olympic sport? Anything is possible, knowing that figure skating will be on display during the Summer Games in Tokyo. Time to file the petition. Right now, we're focusing on traditional sports, like skiing, which we're good at. In which the most beautiful Dutch women move. It is no coincidence that the top 4 of the 10 most beautiful female athletes in the Netherlands are full of skaters.
