What to remember
Szeged, Hungary, hosted a World Cup round on 29 May 2010 at which German canoeist Kurt Kuschela covered 5000 m in a single canoe in 20 min 27.35 s.
The ICF keeps world best times in canoe sprint. The ICF only acknowledges times set in finals of the Olympic Games, World Championships, World Cups, Continental Championships and other canoe sprint events of an acceptable technical level, World Cups among them.
Born in Berlin, Kuschela won Olympic gold at the 2012 Summer Olympics in the C-2 1000 metres with his teammate Peter Kretschmer. That gold came two years after his Szeged race.
