Ramona Walther (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Ramona Walther is an East German sprint canoer who competed in the early 1980s. She won a gold medal in the K-4 500 m event at the 1983 ICF Canoe Sprint World Championships in Tampere. This article discusses canoe sprint and canoe marathon, competitive forms of canoeing and kayaking on more or less flat water. Both sports are governed by the International Canoe Federation (ICF). Canoe sprint, which is referred to by the IOC as "canoe/kayak sprint," is one of the two forms of the canoeing disciplines that are featured in the Summer Olympics, the other being canoe slalom. Marathon racing is not an Olympic sport. In non-Olympic years, the main events are the World Championships. Canoe racing combined with map navigation is called Canoe orienteering.
