At the Pan American Sports Organization's 2013 general assembly in Jamaica, canoe slalom competitions were added to the program. This was the first time slalom has been staged at the Pan American Games. Furthermore, women also competed in canoe races for the first time ever in both disciplines.[6]

The winners of the five canoe slalom competitions (besides the C-1 women event, which is not an Olympic event) qualify for the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. If Brazil, the host nation of the Olympics, wins any events, the runner up qualifies instead.[7]

Competition schedule

The Minden Wild Water Preserve, in Minden, is the venue for the slalom discipline.
The Welland Pan Am Flatwater Centre, in Welland, was the venue for the sprint discipline.

gollark: It's simple - people like SAltkins.
gollark: He's probably too busy ignoring suggestions/requests to look.
