Is Kayaking An Olympic Sport

By admin, March 13, 2010 10:12 pm

Has anybody ever found a sight that gives complete listing on all Americans that where in the Olympics?

Look the info on WIKI is incomplete for example if you where to look at the 1972 American team for Munich you wouldn’t see any names for Canoe/Kayak.

Yet James McEwan won a bronze in Men’s SLALOM C1 (SINGLE CANOE WHITEWATER)

USOC has no archives for a list of American athletic delegation going back to past Olympics , Team sport federations seem to do the best job as they give a good detail of info, smaller Olympic sporting federations not so good.

Can you always find info on those that won medals from IOC , but not a list of all the competitors or at least no to my knowledge. Info on the Web in this regard stops at 1996 for the most part.
CORRECTION- YOU CAN ALWAYS FIND INFO ON PAST MEDAL WINNERS AT THE IOC.COM

try www.olympic.com they have a history of all Olympics and also athletes not just medal winners.
