Seems to be a common concern for the non-pool swimming events at the Olympics every cycle.So my friend that lives in France has told me the swimming (not sure all of them are) for this is going to be a disaster. They decided to try to clean the river to do the events in it like the 1924? Olympics.
Well the temporary Dam has broken twice and it's not as clean as they had anticipated.
This will be a glorious **** show almost literally
What’s crazy is that one can’t be built in 4 years? Give me a break.A city that large not having a proper canoe slalom venue is unimaginable.
No canoe slalom courses is truly a sign that we are a failed nation.A city that large not having a proper canoe slalom venue is unimaginable.
I know in places facing water shortages the thing we can't live without would be a niche sport facility that would use a ton of water.No canoe slalom courses is truly a sign that we are a failed nation.

Looks like you're right Athens did that but I guess it's considered an outlier(?) (not a canoe slalom expert by any means)Can’t salt water be used? I’m pretty sure it’s allowed.
Yeah, me neither. Was just thinking it would be quite the downer for the athletes in those events to not be really part of the Olympic experience for something that “seems” doable.Looks like you're right Athens did that but I guess it's considered an outlier(?)

They aren’t building them in Oklahoma City, they already exist right? Isn‘t this part of the plan to use existing facilities and not waste billions of dollars to build new temporary use venues?They couldn't find someplace in the state of California that worked? Oklahoma is the closest they could find?

I thought they'd go 4 deep to determine the 4x100 for Paris. Does that not happen at this run?Sha'cari flies but needs to improve on her start for when Paris comes.
