The story
Zoltan Kammerer and Botond Storcz won the men's k2 500m gold medal in canoe sprint at Sydney 2000 on 1 October 2000. The title went to Hungary, with the competition held at Sydney International Regatta Centre, Penrith Lakes, Australia.
How it unfolded
Daniel Collins and Andrew Trim (Australia) took silver; Ronald Rauhe and Tim Wieskoetter (Germany) took bronze.
The wider picture
The 500-metre race was contested in a kayak with 2 paddlers per boat. Sprint racing used a straight flat-water course with boats assigned to lanes. Heats and semi-finals determined the final line-up, and the finishing order in the medal final decided the podium. Canoe paddlers used single-bladed paddles, while kayakers used double-bladed paddles. Different crew sizes and distances formed separate Olympic events.
