The IOC caps the total number of athletes in the slalom competition, which determines the minimum boat quota places listed above. However, an athlete may represent his NOC in more than one event, in which case an additional Athlete Quota Place becomes available. The additional entry is awarded to the next best ranked NOC at the corresponding Continental Qualification for the continent of the NOC that freed a quota place. The second allocation will be made between June 18, 2008 and July 23, 2008. If only one Athlete Quota Place is available from a C2M then the best-unqualified NOC in C1M from the same continent will receive an Athlete Quota Place.
Flatwater Events: 12 sets of medals will be awarded in the following events:
An NOC may enter 1 boat in each flatwater competition. Qualification place is awarded to the NOC and not to the athletes. The Host Nation is awarded 1 boat in K-1 Men, K-1 Women and C-1 Men events and if they do not qualify through the world championships, the lowest ranked boat from the world championships will be replaced by the boat from the Host Nation.
