# Canoeing at the 2024 Summer Olympics – Men's K-1 1000 metres

"none" is preferred when the title is sufficiently descriptive; see [[WP:SDNONE]]
The men's K-1 1000 metres sprint canoeing event at the 2024 Summer Olympics took place on 7 and 10 August 2024 at the National Olympic Nautical Stadium of Île-de-France in Vaires-sur-Marne.
Josef Dostál won the gold, Ádám Varga took the silver medal, and the defending 2020 Olympic champion Bálint Kopasz took the bronze medal.

## Background

This was the 21st appearance of the event after it was introduced at the 1936 Olympics.

## Competition format

Sprint canoeing uses a four-round format for events with at least 11 boats, with heats, quarterfinals, semifinals, and finals. The specifics of the progression format depend on the number of boats ultimately entered.
The course is a flatwater course 9 metres wide. The name of the event describes the particular format within sprint canoeing. The "K" format means a kayak, with the canoeist sitting, using a double-bladed paddle to paddle, and steering with a foot-operated rudder (as opposed to a canoe, with a kneeling canoeist, single-bladed paddle, and no rudder). The "1" is the number of canoeists in each boat. The "500 metres" is the distance of each race.
