Her stroke rate for the first 50 was about 15% higher than anyone else
only three years to the next olympics...
K1-200 is not on the Paris schedule sadly. It's such a fun event, watching them just go all out for about 40 seconds is amazing.

What is on the 2024 schedule?
Back in 1984, when we won the huge bag of kayaking golds. There were no 200m events.
The two distances were 500 and 1000 (for men).
The women only competed over 1 distance (500m).
It meant there were crossover athletes between the 500 and 1000 and Mac and Ferg got a swag.
Having the 200 and the 1000 seems to mean no crossover, hence the more sensible choice.
So, currently for men. Two very different types of athletes.
Currently , for women, closer - with the distances being 200 and 500.

answering myself:
Changes to the canoeing event programme will see men’s and women’s extreme slalom included in the Paris 2024 canoe programme.
The addition of the new discipline in the Olympic schedule will not require any extra athlete quotas, with many of the canoe slalom competitors likely to contest the extreme competitions.
With the IOC confirming no additional medals, the introduction of extreme slalom will see the canoe sprint programme reduced from 12 events to ten.
The IOC accepted the canoe sprint programme proposal from the International Canoe Federation confirming that the men’s and women’s K1 200m will not be contested in Paris.
Under the changes, the men’s K2 1000m and C2 1000m will both become 500 metre events.
There will be K4 500m races for both men and women.
The K1 and C1 1000m events for men, and K1 and K2 500m for women remain unchanged.
The women’s C1 200m and C2 500m, which will be raced at an Olympics for the first time next year in Tokyo, also remain unchanged for Paris 2024.
