“Kayak paddling is very close to cross-country skiing, paddling works the same muscles. The body and arms move in the same way as skating.”
“It’s well known that Norwegian skiers are big kayak paddlers, many times Olympic games winner Thomas Alsgaard being the outstanding example. If the Norwegians have become powerful through kayak paddling, then it’s a good idea for us to try as well.” – said Kein Einaste, member of the Estonian Team.
