International Canoe History

Sven Thorell

Sven Thorell arguably occupies a similar place in the history of Swedish Canoeing to that Uffa Fox occupies in British Sailing. Important as a competitor, designer, builder and writer, Herr Thorell also won an Olympic Gold medal, in 1928 in the International 12 ft Class, surpassing Fox in that respect.
