Second allocation

The IOC caps the total number of athletes in the flat water 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 in which the NOC of the repeating athlete competes.

Second allocation after global qualification :

Tripartite Commission Invitation

Additional

Athletes filling a quota place in one event may compete in other events as well
