Canoeing competitions at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris ran across two main disciplines: canoe slalom, which took place from 27 July to 5 August, and canoe sprint, from 6 to 10 August. Both canoe slalom and sprint events were staged at the Stade d'eau vive Vaires-sur-Marne, National Olympic Nautical Stadium of ÃÂle-de-France in Vaires-sur-Marne.
Similar to the previous editions, the competition featured sixteen events with several significant changes to the program lineup. The men's C-2 and K-2 1000 metres were replaced with half of its distance, the men's C-2 and K-2 500 metres, to align with the women's side of the program. Paris 2024 also signified the debut of the men's and women's slalom kayak cross event, as part of the Olympic movement toward gender equality, substituting the men's and women's K-1 200-metre sprint races.
The International Olympic Committee and the International Canoe Federation have released a new qualification system for both slalom and sprint canoeing at the 2024 Summer Olympics.
In total of 255 boats, 300 canoeists or kayakers competed from 58 NOCs.
