The women's C-2 500 metres sprint canoeing event at the 2020 Summer Olympics took place on 6 and 7 August 2021 at the Sea Forest Waterway. [1] 26 canoeists (13 boats of 2) from 13 nations competed. [2]

Background

This was the debut appearance of the event, replacing the men's K-2 200 metres as the Olympics moved towards gender equality. [3]

The reigning World Champions were Sun Mengya and Xu Shixiao of China.

Qualification

A National Olympic Committee (NOC) could enter only 1 qualified boat (2 canoeists) in the event. A total of 13 qualification places were available, initially allocated as follows:

Qualifying places were awarded to the NOC, not to the individual canoeists who earned the place. [2]

The Americas continental tournament was cancelled; that place was allocated through the World Championships, with the place going to Japan. [4] The Africa place was reallocated as well, with Europe receiving a second spot.

Competition format

Sprint canoeing uses a four-round format for events with at least 11 boats, with heats, quarterfinals, semifinals, and finals. For a 13-boat event, the rounds are as follows: [5]

The course is a flatwater course 9 metres wide. The name of the event describes the particular format within sprint canoeing. The "C" format means a canoe, with the canoeist kneeling and using a single-bladed paddle to paddle and steer (as opposed to a kayak, with a seated canoeist, double-bladed paddle, and foot-operated rudder). The "2" is the number of canoeists in each boat. The "500 metres" is the distance of each race. [6]

Schedule

The event was held over two consecutive days, with two rounds per day. All sessions started at 9:30 a.m. local time, though there are multiple events with races in each session. [7]
