| Participants | 40 from 16 countries |
The defending Olympic champions were the New Zealand pair of Lisa Carrington and Caitlin Regal, but Regal was now retired and Carrington had rarely raced K2 since Tokyo. She was entered with a new partner, Alicia Hoskin. Hoskin had won gold at the 2023 World Championships in the K4, with Carrington also in that boat. Hoskin had competed at Tokyo 2020 but did not medal. The German pair of Paulina Paszek and Jule Hake were world ranked #1 coming into Paris, having won silver at the 2022 World Championships and bronze in 2023.
It was no contest. Carrington and Hoskin were unchallenged in every round, winning the gold medal by over 2 seconds ahead of the Hungarian pair of Tamara Csipes and Alida Dóra Gazsó, who narrowly edged out Paszek and Hake, and another Hungarian team of Noémi Pupp and Sára Fojt, as they finished in a rare tie for the bronze medal.
Carrington and Hoskin won gold the day after they had led New Zealand to gold in the K4. Carrington would win a third gold the day after this event in the kayak singles, giving her three gold medals for the second consecutive Olympics. She would leave Paris with nine Olympic medals and eight gold medals. Her eight gold medals equaled the record for the discipline set by German Birgit Fischer-Schmidt, and her nine medals trailed only Fischer-Schmidt’s 12 Olympic medals.
