➽ Der Augsburger Eiskanal ist eine Wildwasseranlage und wurde für die Kanuslalom-Wettbewerbe der Olympischen Sommerspiele 1972 errichtet.
Der Eiskanal war das weltweit erste künstliche Kanuslalom-Stadion. Die Eiskanal Olympiastrecke ist seit Jahrzehnten Vorbild für die Konzeption neuer Slalomstrecken. Die Strecke kommt ohne elektrisch betriebene Pumpen aus und hat daher geringe Betriebskosten. Durch die abgerundeten Einbauten und den ebenen Boden ist die Verletzungsgefahr für die Sportler gering.
Der Eiskanal ist Teil des historischen Augsburger Kanalnetzes und diente ursprünglich als Umgehungskanal für Treibeis, damit dieses im Winter nicht die Turbinen des Wasserwerks am Hochablaß beschädigte. Mehr Informationen auf Wikipedia

➽ The Augsburg Eiskanal (ice channel) is an artificial whitewater river in Augsburg, constructed as the canoe slalom venue for the 1972 Summer Olympics in nearby Munich.
The first artificial whitewater course of its kind, it introduced the sport of canoe slalom (using decked canoes and kayaks) to the Olympic Games. The route doesn't require electrically operated pumps and therefore has low operating costs. Because of the rounded internals and the flat bottom, the risk of injury for athletes is low.

The Eiskanal is part of the historic Augsburg channel system and became known as the Eiskanal (ice channel), since it was used to deflect floating ice away from the waterworks facility, protecting its equipment.Read more on Wikipedia (engl.)
