The canoeing races at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro are contested in two main disciplines: the slalom, from 7 to 11 August,[1] and the sprint, from 15 to 20 August.[2] The slalom canoe competition will be held at the Olympic Whitewater Stadium; whereas the sprint events will be staged at Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas in Copacabana.

Around 330 athletes will participate in 16 events. A new change to the event format has been instituted by the International Canoe Federation, as the women's K-4 500 m is replaced by the women's K-4 1000 m.[3]

Qualification

A new qualification system has been created for both slalom and sprint canoeing at the 2016 Olympic Games. The quotas were set for each event by the International Canoe Federation in August 2014.[3]
