The men's kayak cross individual event at the 2025 ICF Canoe Slalom World Championships took place on 29 September 2025 at the Penrith Whitewater Stadium in Penrith. It was the first time that medals were awarded for the time trial part of a kayak cross event at the World Championships.

Contents

Competition format

The kayak cross individual time trial event is a single run competition which also serves as the qualification for the kayak cross event where 4 paddlers race each other head-to-head. Top 42 paddlers from the kayak cross individual time trial advanced to the knockout phase at these championships.

Paddlers start their run by sliding off the starting platform several meters above the water. Then they must navigate the downstream and upstream gates. Unlike in classic slalom, paddlers are allowed to touch the gates and even intentionally move them with their paddle, but not with a free hand. There is also a designated zone where paddlers must perform an Eskimo roll.

Athletes can be penalized by receiving a fault (FLT). Faults are incurred for false starts, missing gates or failing to correctly perform the Eskimo roll. Athletes are ranked according to the time they achieve, with those incurring faults ranked at the bottom.
