London 2012 Olympic Games at The Lee Valley White Water Centre
Distance: 5.15 miles
The first Olympic Canoe Slalom event was at the Munich Games in 1972. It came back into the Olympic arena in Barcelona in 1992 and has stayed in place since.
The slalom competition is a timed run down a white water course with up to 25 gates to negotiate. Touching a gate adds a two-second time penalty to the run and missing a gate incurs a 50-second penalty – a disaster. Slalom is a time trial and the next racer starts when the previous one has finished.
