It was the first major international competition on the Tacen Whitewater Course after the floods in early August 2023, which had caused major damage to the facilities.[2][3]
A new medal event was introduced at these championships, the kayak cross individual, which also served as a qualification time trial for the main kayak cross event. The first titles were claimed by Alena Marx and Vít Přindiš.[4]
The original schedule had to be amended due to high water level of the river Sava on Friday, 16 May. The classic slalom events only had 1 run of qualification with the top 12 paddlers advancing straight to the final, as opposed to 2 qualification rounds, a semifinal and a final.[5]
