Fernando Pimenta, who led the entire race and finished with a time of 3:24.44 minutes, ahead of Australia's Thomas Green and Germany's Jacob Schopf, was in great shape.

"I am not yet in my best shape, but I am getting better and better. I have improved and I think we did a good display for the canoeing enthusiasts. After the bronze medal in the Tokyo Olympics, I feel I have no more pressure. I only need one gold medal, I already have bronze and silver. I'm going to work for it.", said the Benfica athlete.

Teresa Portela won the bronze medal after covering the 500 meters in K1 with a time of 1:49.86 minutes, 2.45 seconds more than the winner.
