Strong favourites heading in were Romania’s Ancuta Bodnar and Simona Radis, winners of every event they had entered since gaining silver at the 2019 World Rowing Championships. Looking to challenge the Romanians were New Zealand, the defending World Champions, but having made changes since then, with Hannah Osborne joining holdover Brooke Donoghue. Others of note in the field were the Dutch pair of Lisa Scheenaard and Roos de Jong, bronze medallists at the 2019 World Championships, and Lithuania, bronze medallists at the 2016 Olympic Games, with Donata Karaliene coming out of retirement to join Milda Valciukaite.

The preliminaries and semi-finals ran pretty well to form, with the pre-race favourites being joined by Canada and the United States for the final. That race turned out to be more of a contest for the silver and bronze as Romania soon pulled away from the rest of the field and cruised to the gold in an Olympic best time. Although the Dutch had broken off the mark in a fast time, they were eventually overtaken by New Zealand for the silver, and had to settle for the bronze.
