Canoeing was demonstrated at the Olympics for the only time in 1924, with all the events held at the unusual distance of 800 metres. Only canoeists from Canada and the United States competed in 1924, so it was hardly an international competition. Only two boats started with the United States team of Bud Havens and Harry Knight, Jr. defeating the Canadian duo of Roy Nurse and George Duncan.
