A superb display by reigning world champion Aimee Fisher has denied Dame Lisa Carrington another K1 500m title at the national canoe sprint championships.
Fisher trailed in the early part of the race before hauling Carrington back in to win by just 0.08 of a second at Lake Karapiro on Saturday.
The race was the first of three between the two paddlers which would decide who would represent New Zealand at the 2022 World Championships in Canada in August.
