The women's K-1 200 metres sprint canoeing event at the 2020 Summer Olympics took place on 2 and 3 August 2021 at the Sea Forest Waterway.[1] At least 12 canoeists from at least 12 nations competed.[2]
Background
[edit]This was the 3rd appearance of the event, which replaced the men's C-2 500 metres in 2012.
The seven-time reigning World Champion and two-time reigning Olympic champion is Lisa Carrington of New Zealand, who earned a place for her NOC and has been selected to compete.[3]
Qualification
[edit]A National Olympic Committee (NOC) could qualify one place in the event, though could enter up to 2 boats if it earned enough quota places through other women's kayak events. A total of 12 qualification places were available, initially allocated as follows:
- 5 places awarded through the 2019 ICF Canoe Sprint World Championships
- 6 places awarded through continental tournaments, 1 per continent except 2 places for Europe
- 1 place awarded through the 2021 Canoe Sprint World Cup Stage 2.
Qualifying places were awarded to the NOC, not to the individual canoeist who earned the place.[2]
An extensive reallocation process was used, resulting in one of the quota places being reallocated to a larger kayak class. Carrington and Jørgensen also qualified in the K-1 500 metres, resulting in their quota spots being reallocated within the 200 metres (Starović could not receive it, as she had also qualified in the 500 metres). Kichasova-Skoryk, however, had qualified in the K-4 but not the K-1 500 metres; her quota was reallocated to the larger boat classes. The 4 remaining World Championships quota places were allocated as follows:[4]
| Rank | Kayaker | Nation | Qualification | Selected competitor |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Lisa Carrington |  New Zealand | Earned quota in K-1 500 m | Could enter via K-1 500, K-2, or K-4 |
| 2 | Marta Walczykiewicz |  Poland | Quota #1 in K-1 200 m | |
| 3 | Emma Jørgensen |  Denmark | Earned quota in K-1 500 m | Could enter via K-1 500, K-2, or K-4 |
| Teresa Portela |  Spain | Quota #2 in K-1 200 m | ||
| 5 | Mariia Kichasova-Skoryk |  Ukraine | Earned quota in K-4 500 m | Could enter via K-1 500, K-2, or K-4 |
| 6 | Dóra Lucz |  Hungary | Quota #4 in K-1 200 m | |
| 7 | Milica Starović |  Serbia | Earned quota in K-1 500 m | Could enter via K-1 500, K-2, or K-4 |
| 8 | Teresa Portela |  Portugal | Quota #5 in K-1 200 m |

Competition format
[edit]Sprint canoeing uses a four-round format for events with at least 11 boats, with heats, quarterfinals, semifinals, and finals. The specifics of the progression format depend on the number of boats ultimately entered.[5]
The course is a flatwater course 9 metres wide. The name of the event describes the particular format within sprint canoeing. The "K" format means a kayak, with the canoeist sitting, using a double-bladed paddle to paddle, and steering with a foot-operated rudder (as opposed to a canoe, with a kneeling canoeist, single-bladed paddle, and no rudder). The "1" is the number of canoeists in each boat. The "200 metres" is the distance of each race.[6]
Schedule
[edit]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]
