28 Stouffville Sun-Tribune | Thursday, August 18, 2016 | Aurora kayaker Lang swamps Summer Games field By John Cudmore jcudmore@yrmg.com Steve Somerville/Metroland For Cameron Lang, the waters at the Welland International Flatwater Centre were brimming with gold. So the Aurora kayaker dipped his paddle and harvested an impressive haul from the Welland, Ont., facility as he won four events, including the K1 (solo) races over 200 and 1,000 metres, Friday at the Ontario Summer Games. The 15-year-old also won gold in the K2 200 and K4 1,000-metre races at the competition which doubled as provincial championships and added bronze in the K2 1,000 metres. A sixth medal, also bronze, came in a mixed war canoe team event. Lang was viewed as a potential medalist entering the Games, which doubled this year as the Ontario provincial championships, despite the fact he was competing in the under-16 age group and a year younger than most of his rivals in the field of 22 competitors. "It's probably my best career achievement," said Lang, a past provincial champion at three age levels in his four-year career in kayaking. "These Games were a really awesome experience. I was hoping for this result but it always is surprising when it happens so it is a good result. "The cool part is the Olympics are on now so we're all glued to the TV watching. To be in our own small version of it is awesome." Lang, who is preparing to enter Grade 10 at Aurora High School next month, was most pleased with his performance in the 1,000-metre event. "It's the race with the highest intensity," said the Richmond Hill Canoe Club member. "It's not that long but it's a gruelling race. If there was one race to win that was it so I was extremely happy to win that. "To get to the final 100 metres and know that if I could hold it together I'd win was awesome." Lang prefers the individual events where he takes full responsibility for the ultimate result. "It's what I like to focus on," he said. "In team boats you are relying on a connection with teammates so many more things can go wrong." Lang is qualified to compete at national championships in Dartmouth, N.S., starting Aug. 30. Cameron Lang won four events, including the K1 (solo) races over 200 and 1,000 metres, Friday at the Ontario Summer Games.
