Canoeing at the 2012 Summer Olympics – Qualification

This article details the Canoeing at the 2012 Summer Olympics qualifying phase. A new qualification system has been set up for both slalom and sprint canoeing at these games. The quotas were set for each event by the International Canoe Federation in July 2010.

For the slalom events, the men competed in C-1, C-2, and K-1. Women competed in K-1 only. Qualifications were allocated to NOCs, not to specific competitors.

NOCs are limited to one boat per event, and in kayaking to 8 men and 6 women positions. Qualification enables an NOC to participate, not necessarily in the person of the paddler who gained the qualification. Quotas given are for boats.
