Olympic Gold Medalist Canoeist Larry Cain speaks out on gender inequality in Olympic Canoeing

"I'll probably ruffle a few feathers with this post, but it needs to be said. It's time for women to race canoe in the Olympics and continuing to ignore gender equity is seriously jeopardizing canoe-kayak's status as an Olympic sport. Time for the ICF to step up do the right thing."

We sincerely appreciate Larry - and other prominent male athletes - speaking out on behalf of women canoeists around the world.

Please refer to his March 19 blog post in the archives section to the left from his blog page.
