A point of personal privilege, as a kid growing up I loved to watch the "Kayakers," which for official purposes are called Canoes at the Olympics now. The sport is divided into two forms: Slolam and Sprint. Of those two the sprint form has been in the Olympics longer beginning at 1936 Berlin. Both forms were introduced at the two Olympics held in Germany, and though Germany is historically a powerhouse for the sport, the largest number of medals won in it by one nation goes to Hungary. 2012 London confirmed the pecking order for these two nations.
