With 38 athletes competing, the event was won by Finn Butcher from New Zealand, with Joseph Clarke from Great Britain taking the silver medal and Noah Hegge from Germany taking bronze.

Format

The competition exists out of three phases. During the qualification, each athlete goes down the course in a time trial to decide who will compete against each other in the heats. The two fastest paddlers in each heat advance to the next round, along with a number of fastest non-qualifiers from the repechage. The paddler to cross the finish line first at the final wins the event.

Preview

Thirty-eight athletes qualified for the inaugural edition of the kayak cross event with the reigning world champion and 2016 Olympic kayak champion Joseph Clarke as the top favorite for the title.
