Competition format

The competition was held over four rounds: heats, repechages, semifinals, and a final. Nobody was eliminated in the heats; the top three canoeists in each of the two heats advanced to the semifinals while all others who competed moved to the repechages. With only 13 competitors entering, this put seven canoeists in the repechages. There were two repechage heats, with the top three in each heat advancing to the semifinals—and only one canoeist eliminated. The semifinals consisted of three heats of four boats each, with the top three in each advancing to the final and only the fourth-place finisher eliminated. Thus, the first three rounds of competition narrowed the field only from 13 to nine boats.
