Slalom

For the slalom events, the men and women will each compete in C-1, K-1, and the inaugural KX-1 (kayak cross). Quota places are allocated to NOCs, not to specific canoeists. NOCs are limited to one boat for each event. These qualification spots will be awarded as follows: [2] [3]

  • World Championships (for canoe and kayak singles) – The highest-ranked eligible canoeists in every single boat (considering only one boat per NOC) will obtain a quota place for their respective NOC. Fifteen qualification spots are available in the K-1 events and twelve in the C-1.
  • Global Qualification Tournament (for kayak cross) – The top three eligible NOCs in each kayak cross event will be awarded a quota place.
  • Continental Qualification Events – NOCs eligible for qualification in a given event will secure a single quota place for their respective continent.
  • Host country – As the host country, France reserves one quota place each for the men's and women's slalom canoe and kayak singles. If one or more French slalom canoeists qualify regularly and directly, their slots will be reallocated to the next highest-ranked eligible NOCs in the kayak singles from the 2023 ICF World Championships, or any of the continental qualification tournaments.
  • Universality places – Two invitational places will be entitled to eligible NOCs interested to have their canoeists (whether slalom or sprint) compete in Paris 2024 as granted by the Universality principle.
  • Reallocation – Unused quota spots will be reallocated.

  1. ^ a b France obtains a quota through the 2023 World Championships. Therefore, the host country place is reallocated to the next eligible NOC, not yet qualified, in the Kayak single event for the same gender at the 2023 World Championships. Slovakia receive the reallocated quota in the men's event and Australia receive the reallocated quota in the women's event
  2. ^ a b c There was not enough competing NOCs at the Oceanian Qualifier neither in the World Ranking, therefore the quota gets reallocated to the best next NOC in the World Rankings from any continent.
  3. ^ a b There were not enough competing NOCs at the African Qualifier neither in the World Ranking, therefore the quota gets reallocated to the best next NOC in the World Rankings from any continent.

Sprint

NOCs are limited to two boats per sprint event, a maximum of six per gender in kayaking, and a maximum of three per gender in canoeing, constituting a roster of eighteen canoeists. The qualification pathway enables the NOC to participate and not necessarily those who earn a direct quota place. [5] These qualification spots will be awarded as follows: [6]

  • World Championships – The highest-ranked eligible canoeists in every single boat (considering only one boat per NOC) will obtain a quota place for their respective NOC. Five-boat spots are available in the C-1 events with an additional place reserved for the host country each in the men's 1000 m and women's 200 m, seven in the K-1 events (including a berth reserved for the host country in the men's 1000 m and women's 500 m), six in the K-2 500 m, eight in the C-2 500 m, and ten in the K-4 500 m. [6]
  • Continental Qualification Events – NOCs eligible for qualification in a given event will secure an assigned number of quota places for their respective continent. For the K-1 and C-1 events, two-boat spots will be awarded for each continent, except for Africa and Oceania (both of which will earn a single quota place). For the K-2 and C-2 events, a single-boat berth is assigned to each continent based on the results from the World Championships: the highest-ranked NOCs eligible for qualification across five different continents will secure a direct quota place.
  • Host country – As the host country, France reserves one quota place for the events listed in the World Championships section. If one or more French slalom canoeists qualify regularly and directly, their slots will be reallocated to the next highest-ranked eligible NOCs in the corresponding event from the 2023 ICF World Championships.
  • Universality places – Two invitational places will be entitled to eligible NOCs interested to have their canoeists (whether slalom or sprint) compete in Paris 2024 as granted by the Universality principle.
  • Reallocation – Unused quota spots will be reallocated. This occurs because several canoeists who qualified for a larger boat category may also compete in a smaller category, freeing up quota place(s) that the NOC has earned in a smaller category.
