| What is 200m racing? | |
| "200m
racing is the closest event on the Sprint Racing Programme to real Sprinting. No other event gets close to seeing the raw explosive power contained within Sprint Canoeists." 
"It is a hugely popular spectator sport, allowing spectators to view the entire race from start to finish, without the aid of cameras, video walls, binoculars, or other visual assistance."
"The closeness of 200m racing only adds to the sheer excitment of watching such events. Not knowing what will happen, right down to the last few metres is a real thriller!"
"200m Racing was first introduced in 1993, becoming a World Championship event in Mexico 1994. It was introduced at the expense of 10,000m racing, to improve the spectator value and develop close racing. 10,000m racing could never be classified as a Sprint Distance, yet it was included in the World Sprint Championship Programme for many years."
"200 metre racing There's no pacing Power fom the start All your heart Dying on the line At 180 a minute we'll do fine!"
