Background

This will be the 10th appearance of the event after it was introduced at the 1976 Olympics. The last time the event took place was at the 2008 Olympics, after which Men's K-2 1000 metres was introduced.

Qualification

Competition format

edit

Sprint canoeing uses a four-round format for events with at least 11 boats, with heats, quarterfinals, semifinals, and finals. The specifics of the progression format depend on the number of boats ultimately entered.

The course is a flatwater course 9 metres wide. The name of the event describes the particular format within sprint canoeing. The "K" format means a kayak, with the canoeist sitting, using a double-bladed paddle to paddle, and steering with a foot-operated rudder (as opposed to a canoe, with a kneeling canoeist, single-bladed paddle, and no rudder). The "2" is the number of canoeists in each boat. The "500 metres" is the distance of each race.

Schedule

edit

All times are Central European Summer Time (UTC+2)

The event will be held over two days, with two rounds per day.[1]
