Canoeing - Slalom training cancelled due to power problem

Canoe slalom training runs were cancelled on Thursday at Rio's Whitewater Stadium after a power issue caused the pumps to stall on the eve of the Olympics opening ceremony. Training was halted at 12:30 p.m. local time and no more runs took place at the Deodoro X-Park in the north west of the city as organisers scrambled to fix the problem. "Technical issues have been found in the power supply distribution to the pumping station," the local organising committee said in a statement.
