Google’s new Doodle features Olympic slalom canoe![]() August 9, 2012 - 17:11 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Though all the Olympic medals have already been awarded in slalom canoe, Google’s still giving you a shot to test your paddling chops, Mashable said. Thursday August 9 whimsical illustration lets you race down a river, navigating turns with the left and right arrow keys. You’ll face challenges during the course, including the river’s bends, rocks and poles. Once you get the hang of the game, you’ll realize that paddling more quickly between the right and left keys will get you to the finish line faster. This is Google’s third interactive Olympic Doodle; the slalom canoe race follows the addictive basketball shooting Doodle and hurdle racing Doodle.
