The sport of Kayak Cross makes its Olympic debut in Paris this year. At the beginning of a run, four kayakers drop about 15 feet from a ramp into the water below, then begin paddling as fast as they can down a whitewater obstacle course, battling each other along the way. Here, Amir Rezanejad, originally from Iran, and now part of the Refugee Olympic Team, drops in at the start of his time trial run in Vaires-sur-Marne, France.
