There should be some mention of Jon's brother Ron whom he also trained and competed with early in his career. I think we should also list some of the boats Jon and Davey designed ( the fanatic and fanatic2 by Jon, the Zealot by Jon and some guy whose name I can't remember (Adam something-he paddled in the olympics for the U.S during the Atlanta games and messed up on gate 18 - an upstream gate on river left - right after humongous) and the designs by Davey Hearn which differed from Jon's flatter bottomed designs by having rails like the estanguet(sp?) boats from France. Maybe we should also include a section on the BCE. Oh yeah, I was the guy who started this page. So, thanks for all the stuff you guys added. I spent like thirty seconds on it and you could tell.
Oh yeah, his name is Adam Clawson ( a very young Clawson appeared in a Kent Ford video on C-1's). He helped Jon design the Zealot specifically for the course on the Ocoee river. It had the traditional low volume stern but the bow had added volume for the larger water on the Ocoee. Martikan, who won the gold that year, paddled a design that was more or less a low volume version of the Fanatic.
Can somebody change the spelling of the title to Jon from John. I tried but had no luck.
Surprising that there is no mention of Jon's Olympic results. He finished fourth in the C-1 competition held at La Seu d'Urgell as part of the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona. A barely perceptible brush of a gate pole by his PFD at Gate 23 (an upstream gate) proved to be the difference between a gold medal and fourth place. Even with the five-second gate touch penalty, that run would have been good enough for a bronze medal if the judges had scored a far more obvious five-second gate-touch penalty on the eventual gold medalist, Lukas Pollert of the Czech Republic.
