Schinias Olympic Rowing and Canoeing Centre

The Schinias Olympic Rowing and Canoeing Centre (Ολυμπιακό Κωπηλατοδρόμιο Σχοινιά) was built to host the rowing and canoe sprint events at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Greece.

Although not fully completed until January 31, 2004, it held its first successful competition, the World Rowing Junior Championships, in August 2003.

During these championships, many boats became waterlogged due to gale-force winds and the resulting water conditions.

Most of the final rounds were raced over a shortened course to avoid worse water in the second half of the 2 km lake.

The centre is one of only three FISA-approved training centers in the world, the others being in Munich and Seville.
