 stream 1.7 km to the place where the turnaround is marked\, then you ride 
 upstream to Mala riva\, where the exit pontoons for the so-called portage 
 have been set up\, which\, along with the start and finish\, is the most i
 nteresting part of the race. Here\, the athletes exit and run to carry the
 ir boats to the boat launch ramp under the bridge\, where entry pontoons w
 ill be set up\, through which the athletes enter the boat\, row upstream t
 o the marked second turning point around the buoy\, and continue downstrea
 m to the lower turning point. The number of laps that the athletes must co
 mplete\, as well as the number of boat portages\, is determined by the com
 petition rules for each category. Whitewater kayaking and canoeing are wat
 er sports in which competitors compete by rowing boats over designated sec
 tions. There are two types of boats for this sport\, the kayak and the can
 oe. The difference is that in kayaking\, each rower uses a two-bladed padd
 le\, while in canoeing\, each rower uses a single-bladed paddle. To better
  apply force\, it is customary for the canoeist to kneel on one leg while 
 rowing\, while the kayaker sits facing the direction of travel\, and they 
 are propelled by an oar held loosely in their hands. Whitewater kayaking i
 s a competition of speed\, strength\, and endurance\, and kayaking has bee
 n an Olympic sport since 1936. VENUE
