Google is no stranger to celebrating the Olympic games. In fact, one of their first Doodles ever was dedicated to the Sydney Games in 2000, featuring holding the Olympic torch. During the London 2012 Olympics it really stepped up its game by creating a series of interactive games to get people in the Olympic spirit.
The stand-out? . Unlike big summer sports such as gymnastics or soccer, canoeing isn鈥檛 known as a staple Olympic sport. It is no pleasant paddle in the pond. Olympic canoers brave whitewater rapids and jagged rocks as they weave their way through various check-points. Google highlighted this unique sport through an interactive game where Google users directed their canoe through a course and are rated on their speed and hit check-points at the end. Now you definitely won鈥檛 switch the channel when Olympic canoeing is on the next summer games.
