Kajaks: All-Time Top Ten Men

UPDATED Jul 30, 2008

Kajaks members and ex-members please review and report any performances not included to records@kajaks.org including name, age-group, year, meet, event and performance.

Hand times are compared using IAAF guidelines referred to in e.g. IAAF Scoring Tables for Combined Events page 25 (PDF).

Hand-timed events 200m or less are considered to be 0.24s slower than electronically timed events. Events 200m-400m are considered to be 0.14s slower.
No adjustment is made for longer events.

Any times shown to 0.1sec (1 decimal place) are assumed to be hand timed, while electronically timed are shown to 0.01s (2 decimal places).

Key to colours:

  • black = original and updated 2005
  • blue = updated
  • bold = new record 2008
