Canoeing has been a featured competition sport in the Summer Olympic Games since the 1936 Games in Berlin, with earlier inclusion as a demonstration sport at the 1924 Games in Paris. There are two disciplines of canoeing in Olympic competition: slalom and sprint.

Competitors in this sport utilize two styles of boats: canoes, which can accommodate 1 or 2 occupants, and kayaks, which can accommodate 1, 2, or 4 occupants. This distinction influences the designation of each event. For instance, "C-1" signifies a canoe singles event, while "K-2" denotes a kayak doubles event. Races typically span 500 meters or 1000 meters in length, although there were also 10 km events from 1936 to 1956. On August 13, 2009, the International Canoe Federation announced that the men's 500 m events would be replaced at the 2012 Summer Olympics by 200 m events, including the addition of K-1 200 m for women. This decision was ratified during their 2009 Board of Directors meeting in Windsor, Berkshire, Great Britain, on December 5, 2009.
