Qualifying criteria

There was a maximum number of participants of 20 for the 2000m races, and 15 for the 500m races.[4]

Each national rowing federation could qualify a maximum of one man and one woman for the 500m event, and one of the 2000m events.

In addition, the 2000m events had universality quotas. For the regions of Africa, Asia, Europe and Latin America & Caribbean, a minimum of 2 athletes from each was required. For Australia & New Zealand, Oceania (excl. AUS & NZ) and USA and Canada, there was a minimum of 1.[5]

Qualification

For each event, the highest ranked athletes on the Concept2 rankings were taken, and then athletes above the maximum per federation were removed, as were those not meeting the universality quotas, until there was enough athletes qualified.
