Banyoles Lake

The rowing competition of the Games of
the XXV Olympiad was on Banyoles
Lake. The rowers' Olympic Village was
also located in the town of Banyoles,
some 118 km from Barcelona. The rowing
lanes, competition area and most of the
services were of a temporary nature.

PROSOLBA S.A. and COOB'92
financed the constructions around the
lake, the refurbishment of the competition
support facilities at the Club Natació
Banyoles and the temporary adaptations
necessary for the Olympic Games.

The sports facilities were put to the test
the year prior to the Olympic Games with
the Junior World Championship which
was held from July 31 to August as part of
the Competitions'91 programme
