Since winning the C-1 1000 at the 2000 Summer Olympics, Germany’s Andreas Dittmer had not lost the event at a major international tournament and was the overwhelming favorite for gold at the 2004 Games. He had no trouble with the opposition in the opening round but, in the final, was dealt a shocking defeat at the hands of Spain’s David Cal, the 2003 World runner-up, who became his nation’s first Olympic canoeing champion by 0.52 seconds, a considerable margin over such a strong favorite. Dittmer therefore had to settle for silver, although he would have his revenge by defeating Cal in the C-1 500 the following day. No one else was within two seconds of Cal and Dittmer and bronze went to Attila Vajda of Hungary.
