Flatwater Racing World Championships
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Flatwater Racing World Championships are an international event in canoeing, organised by the International Canoe Federation. The World Championships take place every year, excluding years in which the Summer Olympic Games is contested.
Men race as individuals, pairs and quads over 200m, 500m and 1000m in both Canoe (Canadian) (C) and Kayak (K) events, giving a total of 18 gold medals. Women compete for only 9 gold medals as they race in kayak events only.
The most recent championships were the 2006 Flatwater Racing World Championships, held in Szeged, Hungary.
