The last race at the Canoe WC in Canada had a Swedish representative: 29-year-old Joakim Lindberg. And the Swede stood for an incomparable performance at K1 5000 meters. Lindberg brilliantly won the WC gold and crushed the other competitors. Down to the silver medalist Tamas Grossmann from Germany, there was a gap of 17 seconds.
The gold was Lindberg's first individual WC medal.
