The team competition in the women's C-1 was for the first time an official competition of a world championship. However, no team medals were awarded in the women's C1 because the required minimum number of participants (6 teams) was not reached. There were initially problems with the weather conditions. Due to strong winds, the first two days of the competition had to be canceled, but the program could finally be carried out on the last three days of the competition.
The world championship was the main qualifying competition for the canoe slalom competitions of the 2012 Summer Olympics . The majority of all quota places were allocated here.
