On video I have only seen him while he wasn't able to go into his lane at the start and then he was still there when the others had started. I'm not sure I can believe he finished if I can't see a video. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Was it because they wanted the compensate the sprinters with a shorter K4 after IOC took K2 200m out of the program? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, if I remember correctly the first idea was to make all mentioned events also in 500m, but the big nations lobby succeeded to keep at least the singles and doubles events in the 1km distance, the K4 was a more or less a compromise Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
