2009 USA Whitewater Slalom Rules Posted

NOTE:Please disregard as I was completely reading the wrong thing. The Slalom Rules have been approved and as such, are permanent until drafted for 2010, when this can be addressed. The new USACK Bylaws are currently open for review through 19 Dec 2008. I will soon post on this after reading.

Day 5 of slalom competition at the 2008 Olympic Games

Day 5 of the 2008 Olympic Slalom Competition was a bonus day.

Due to inclement weather, 3 of 4 events scheduled for Day 4 were postponed, and another day of competition was added to the 2008 Olympic Slalom schedule.

Day 4 of slalom competition at the 2008 Olympic Games

Day 4 of the Beijing Olympic Slalom Competition was cut short by torrential rain and thunderstorms.
