Similar to the previous editions, the competition featured sixteen events with several significant changes to the program lineup. The men's C-2 and K-2 1000 metres were replaced with half of its distance, the men's C-2 and K-2 500 metres, to align with the women's side of the program. Paris 2024 also signified the debut of the men's and women's slalom kayak cross event, as part of the Olympic movement toward gender equality, substituting the men's and women's K-1 200-metre sprint races.[4][5]
