SLALOM - "Canoeing have proposed the women's C1 slalom event to replace the men's C2. The men's C2 slalom, won by Ladislav and Peter Škantár of Slovakia at Rio 2016, is being dropped from the programme for Tokyo 2020 to accommodate other events to ensure gender equality."
SPRINT - "The C1 women's 200m and C2 500m will replace the C1 men's 200 and K2 men's 200m.
In order to give sprinters in the latter events an alternative, the men's K4 500 will replace the K4 1,000m."
