K-1, women, 1000 m

What to remember

Born in Queenstown, Teneale Hatton moved to Auckland as a child. The New Zealand kayaker has been coached by four-time Olympic gold medallist Ian Ferguson, and she has also competed in surf lifesaving: at the 2009 Australian championships in Perth she won four medals, three gold and a bronze.

In Moscow, where the Worlds were being held, she covered the 1000 m in a K-1 in 3 min 49.423 s on 9 August 2014. In canoe sprint this is a world best time: the ICF does not use the term world record and only accepts times from finals at major events.
