The women's kayak cross individual event at the 2026 ICF Canoe Slalom World Championships took place on 20 July 2026 at the RIVERSPORT OKC in Oklahoma City.
Competition format The kayak cross individual time trial event is a single run competition which also serves as the qualification for the kayak cross event where 4 paddlers race each other head-to-head. Top 42 paddlers from the kayak cross individual time trial advanced to the knockout phase at these championships.
Paddlers start their run by sliding off the starting platform several meters above the water. Then they must navigate the downstream and upstream gates. Unlike in classic slalom, paddlers are allowed to touch the gates and even intentionally move them with their paddle, but not with a free hand. There is also a designated zone where paddlers must perform a Kayak roll.
Athletes can be penalized by receiving a fault (FLT). Faults are incurred for false starts, missing gates or failing to correctly perform the kayak roll. Athletes are ranked according to the time they achieve, with those incurring faults ranked at the bottom.
