Now it’s time to get to know kayak cross, a new event that will make its debut at Paris 2024. More than 50 years after its debut at the Olympic Games, canoe slalom will for the first time include an event in which athletes are racing against each other and not only the clock.
Since its debut at the Games at Munich 1972, canoe slalom has always included four events at the Games. Up until Rio 2016 those were men’s canoe singles (C-1), men’s kayak singles (K-1), women’s kayak singles (K-1) and men’s canoe doubles (C-2) until the latter was substituted for women’s canoe singles (C-1) at Tokyo 2020.
