Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Canoeing at the Summer Olympics — The entry states that 10-kilometer marathon races were held for men only from 1936 to 1956, but the official Olympic canoeing events at that time were 10,000-meter races, not called 'marathon' races.

Canoeing at the 2012 Summer Olympics — The men's C-2 500m was replaced by a men's C-2 1000m, not by a men's C-1 200m.

Canoeing at the 2012 Summer Olympics — The claim that the men's 500m sprints were replaced by a 200m race is oversimplified; the C-2 500m was replaced by C-2 1000m, not a 200m race.

Canoeing at the 2020 Summer Olympics — The entry states that the women's K-4 500 metres was added for 2020, but it was already part of the program in 2016 and has existed since 1984; it was retained, not added.

Canoeing at the 2024 Summer Olympics — The slalom kayak cross events replaced the men's K-1 and women's C-1 slalom events, not the K-1 200-metre sprints.

Canoeing at the 2024 Summer Olympics — The men's C-2 and K-2 1000-metre events were shortened to 500 metres, not replaced by entirely new events.
