2024 Summer Olympics qualification
The competitions also served as qualification for the 2024 Summer Olympics. The results will be evaluated retroactively after the completion of the global qualification event, the 2023 ICF Canoe Slalom World Championships. There is one quota spot available in K1 and C1 each, but no quota spots in kayak cross.[3] While the quota may descend to lower placed countries, Germany (2), the Czech Republic and Great Britain have guaranteed places at the 2024 Paris Games, as they will only default the quotas earned here if they earn quotas in the same event at the World Championships.
