Of the eight boats Slovakia entered in canoe/kayak races in Athens, the one that was the favourite for a medal was the two-time defending world champion kayaking Men's four crew. They handily won their heat to advance directly to the final, but in the final they had a poor start, sitting only 7th through 250 metres, and could not make up any ground on the leading boats, though they did hold off a late charge from Bulgaria to earn a bronze medal. Two other boats made finals, but neither medalled. In the women's K-1 500 metre, Marcela ErbanovaMarcela Erbanová

Both men had a safe cushion back to the remainder of the pack, so the battle in the final was one-on-one for gold and silver. Martikan appeared to have won after the final run, but a post-race review led to him being assessed two penalty seconds, and losing out to Estanguet by just 0.12 seconds.
Kaliska's road to gold in the Women's Single event was much less dramatic. She trailed a German canoeist after the heats, but had the two fastest runs in both the semi and the final, and did not commit any penalties, winning by more than four-and-a-half seconds.
