The women's K-1 slalom canoeing event at the 2024 Summer Olympics took place on 27 and 28 July 2024 at the National Olympic Nautical Stadium of Île-de-France in Vaires-sur-Marne. Jessica Fox won the event. She already has several Olympic medals in kayak slalom (K1) – a silver (from 2012) and two bronze (from 2016 and 2021) – and a gold medal in canoe slalom (C1) from the Tokyo 2020 games (postponed to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic).^[1] Klaudia Zwolińska won silver and Kimberley Woods bronze, for both of them it was the first Olympic medal.

Ricarda Funk was the defending 2020 Olympic champion, but she was placed eleventh.

Background

Qualification

Competition format

Slalom canoeing uses a three-round format, with heats, semifinal, and final. In the heats, each canoeist has two runs at the course with the better time counting. The top 22 advance to the semifinal. In the semifinal, the canoeists get a single run; the top 12 advance to the final. The best time in the single-run final wins gold.

The canoe course is approximately 250 metres long, with up to 25 gates that the canoeist must pass in the correct direction. Penalty time is added for infractions such as passing on the wrong side or touching a gate. Runs typically last approximately 95 seconds.

Schedule

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