C-1, men, 200 m

What to remember

Plovdiv, Bulgaria, July 2016: at the European Under-23 Championships, Lithuania's Vadim Korobov covered 200 m in a single canoe in 37.446 s, on 17 July.

So an under-23 event can produce a world best time. For the ICF to recognise a world best time, it has to come from a final: the Games, the Worlds, World Cup rounds and continental championships all count, as do other canoe sprint races judged to be of a sufficient technical standard.

Korobov went on to shine in the two-man canoe, taking bronze in 2021 and silver in 2022 in the men's C2 200 m at the Canoe Sprint European Championships.
