Sprint edit

The top six boats in the kayak events and top seven in the canoe events at the 2022 Pan American Championships qualify for the games. An athlete can qualify in only one boat, and if they compete in multiple events at the qualifier, their results are not counted in the smaller boat(s). The larger boats are awarded first, followed by the smaller ones, with all countries qualifying in the larger boats required to compete in any smaller boat(s) at the games. A total of 43 kayak and 22 canoe athletes will qualify per gender.[2][7] All quotas were not awarded, and two additional qualification events, the COPAC U-23 Championships and the Central American and Caribbean Games were added.[8][9]
