According to this Canada chose men's K1 and C1 for Rio http://olympic.ca/rio-2016-qualification-tracker/

They had to choose 2 out of 3 quotas that they won at Pan Am Games (K1M, K1W, C1M).

Well,  I would have preferred if they wanted to add the team competitions to the olympics.

This writer calls the same thing canoe slalom cross, boater cross, boarder cross and border cross in one article 

 

How am I supposed to call it then?

Simply cross I guess

 

I guess this will be one of those events that are perceived "cool and sexy", and that's what IOC apparently wants. That's why we might see skateboarding, surfing and rock climbing in Tokyo.

honnestly don´t know. To be true, I´ve never seen this competition, so I can´t say anything. but at first view from what I read and heard, it´s hard to call it canoeing slalom, apparently it have nothing in common with.. the track is much shorter (only 5 to 7 gates) and there no penalisation for hitting the gates..but sure, I can be wrong and the race could be very interesting and exciting, I have to see it to say more
