On 25 July 2016, one additional boat was awarded to the Swedish squad in the men's K-2 200 m and one in women's K-1 500 m,^[13] as a response to the removal of five boats held by the Russians from the International Canoe Federation due to their previous doping bans and their implications in the "disappearing positive methodology" set out in the McClaren Report on Russia's state-sponsored doping.^[14] SOK decided to decline the spot in the men's K-2 200 m, but selected Karin Johansson for women's K-1 500 m.^[15]
