Competition format

The competition consisted of two main rounds (heats and a final) as well as a repechage. The 7 boats were divided into two heats for the first round, with 4 boats in one heat and 3 boats in the other. The winner of each heat (2 boats total) advanced directly to the final (for 1st through 6th place). The remaining 5 boats were placed in the repechage. The repechage featured a single heat. The top four boats advanced to the final; only the last-place boat in the repechage was eliminated (and took 7th place overall, with no need for a "B" final because only one boat did not reach the "A" final).[2]

All races were over a 2000 metre course, unlike previous Games in which women used a 1000 metre course.
