The 2024 ICF Paracanoe World Championships were held in Szeged, Hungary from 9 to 11 May 2024.[1] This event, which is part of the ICF Canoe Sprint World Championships in non-Paralympic years, took place as a standalone competition in order to accommodate athletes seeking to qualify for the 2024 Paralympic regatta. It shared the venue with, and was held concurrently with the 2024 European Canoe Sprint Qualifier and Szeged leg of the 2024 ICF Canoe Sprint World Cup.[2]
Explanation of events
Paracanoe competitions are contested in either a va'a (V), an outrigger canoe (which includes a second pontoon) with a single-blade paddle, or in a kayak (K), a closed canoe with a double-bladed paddle. All international competitions are held over 200 metres in single-man boats, with three event classes in both types of vessel for men and women depending on the level of an athlete's impairment. The lower the classification number, the more severe the impairment is - for example, VL1 is a va'a competition for those with particularly severe impairments.[3]
Paralympic qualification
In all canoe classes bar the VL1, the top four NPCs not already qualified after the 2023 ICF Canoe Sprint World Championships claimed quota slots for Paris 2024.[4]
