Mixed C-2, 500 m

What to remember

Duisburg, Germany, June 2, 2019: at a World Cup race, China's Liu Hao and Sun Mengya covered the mixed C-2 500 m in 1 min 44.729 s. In this two-seat canoe, a man and a woman paddle together.

Liu Hao, a sprint canoeist, also won a world title in 2019. He took silver in both the C-1 1000 m and the C-2 1000 m at the Tokyo Olympics, then gold in the C-2 500 m with Ji Bowen at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

The time is one of the world best times recognised by the International Canoe Federation, which only accepts those set in finals of major events, World Cups included.
