Did you know? The Great Britain Premier Women's Dragon Boat Team currently hold the World Record for the fastest women's team ever over 1000m in a time of 04:07:98.

Did you know there is no such thing as a World Record in paddle sports?

not to mention weather condition and lane bias.
our girls can kick your girls asses

my paddle is bigger than your paddle and i can stroke it 80 times a minute hi hi

The National Dragon Boat Club premiere women's team raced 1,000 metres in 4:04.28 at the World's trials in Welland. This must be a new "world's record"!

LOL...

What.An.IDIOT!

probably has to be in an international event. flatwater has recognized records...

So , just for fun , what are the fastest times in all the races classes and distances ?

People keep track of flatwater time records, but they are not recognized in any official way. (Although CKC has a list.) They tell you more about wind and water conditions than about paddlers.

(from the holder of a totally meaningless Canadian record in a very insignificant national race - but it's still fun to brag to non-paddlers)

they have world times as well that are recorded. not just ckc

the times might be recorded, but they're not world records.

here you go. this is for sprint.

How about dragon boat "records" ?

I think premiere men did a 1:48(?) 500m in Welland this summer.

They did 1:46.87... see the link to the NTT results in one of the earlier messages.

The sprint times on the ICF website are just the top 10 fastest times and do not presume to be world records. As stated many times before there are too many variables from race to race (heat to heat). As an example Steve Giles could have come home from Sydney with a gold medal instead of a bronze had the wind been a head, tail or from the left since in C-1 a cross wind advantages those who paddle on one side over the other. But that is the nature of the game, to be guaranteed the best you need to not only beat your competitors but Mother Nature too. What is interesting is that Kolonicz and Knazovicky have times in the C-1 200m that still rank given that late 97 was the beginning of the technical revolution in hull design, that made the boats radically faster (yet another variable)
