Canoe Slalom at the LA28 Summer Games runs across 8
sessions, Fri, Jul 14 – Sat, Jul 22 2028, at McClendon Whitewater Center
in Oklahoma City.
Canoe slalom at LA28 will be held at the McClendon Whitewater Center in Oklahoma City, a purpose-built whitewater course away from the Los Angeles venue cluster. Competitors paddle single or double kayaks and canoes down a turbulent artificial river, steering through a sequence of upstream and downstream gates. Touching or missing a gate adds time penalties, so the discipline rewards precision as much as raw speed. Across the Olympic program the event is split by boat class and gender, with each class progressing through its own rounds over the course of the schedule.
The eight sessions listed below run from Friday, July 14 through Saturday, July 22, with most starting at 9:00 AM and one on July 15 at 10:00 AM. Early sessions in a slalom program typically consist of qualification heats, where paddlers post times to determine who advances, while later dates bring semifinals and medal finals for the various boat classes. A single session generally covers several runs across multiple competitors and can last a few hours, since each athlete’s individual run is short but the field is large.
When choosing a session, look at where a date falls in the sequence below: earlier dates are more likely to feature heats with a higher volume of runs, while sessions toward the end of the window are more likely to include medal deciders. The schedule does not specify which sessions are finals, so treat placement in the run of dates as a general guide rather than a confirmed designation. All eight sessions take place at the same venue, the McClendon Whitewater Center in Oklahoma City.
