Competition format[]

Slalom canoeing uses a three-round format, with heats, semifinal, and final. In the heats, each canoeist had two runs at the course with the better time counting. The top 24 advanced to the semifinal. In the semifinal, the canoeists get a single run; the top 10 advanced to the final. The best time in the single-run final wins gold.[8]

The canoe course was approximately 250 metres (820 ft) long, with up to 25 gates that the canoeist had to pass in the correct direction. Penalty time was added for infractions such as passing on the wrong side or touching a gate. Runs typically lasted approximately 95 seconds.[8]

Schedule[]

All times were Japan Standard Time (UTC+9)

The women's slalom K-1 took place over two separate days.[1]
