Canoeing
Easy installation and operation, absolute precision, high reliability, flexibility
Professional timing
Introduction
Canoeing is a discipline where the athlete’s ability to control the boat meets the force of the water on the racecourse. Whether on whitewater or flatwater, Microgate timing systems guarantee absolute detection precision even in the most challenging race conditions. The direct connection between start and finish, combined with real-time race data visualization, makes Microgate a complete global provider. From national competitions to international events, the highest standard of timing accuracy and result reliability is always guaranteed.

Examples of configurations:
flexible and customizable
In canoeing competitions, Microgate delivers maximum precision and reliability. The solution includes starts managed through photocells and traffic lights, with radio transmission to the timing devices. At the finish line, single or double photocells detect times, ensuring immediate visibility of results for both athletes and spectators through a simple and automated setup.

Configuration 1
Canoe Slalom – Downriver (Single or Teams) – Sprint – Whitewater
In canoeing competitions (Slalom, Downriver, Sprint), Microgate manages the extreme variability of the race courses using a radio system or the HiChrono app. The start uses a HiClock traffic light system and a HiSens photocell, transmitting the data to the finish line where the ReiPro stopwatch detects arrivals across finish lines up to 110 metres wide and calculates net times. MicroTab/MicroGraph display boards show times and rankings in real time to the public and athletes.
Configuration 2
Flatwater Canoeing
For flatwater canoeing, Microgate offers precision and flexibility. The start is managed through a start sensor or electronic gun, connected to the finish area via radio using HiLink or the HiChrono App. Intermediate times are detected through LinkPOD Radio devices. At the finish, the ReiPro timer works together with a 3,000 fps FinishLynx camera to accurately distinguish close sprint finishes. MicroTab/MicroGraph scoreboards display live results in real time.
Configuration 3
International Competition
International competitions require redundant timing systems for both whitewater and flatwater events. Even for individual races, the presence of at least one high-resolution digital photo-finish system must always be guaranteed.
