Last updated

The men's K-4 1000 metres event was a fours kayaking event conducted as part of the Canoeing at the 1992 Summer Olympics program. The official report did not make clear on the two semifinals and final which events were the men's K-2 1000 m event and the men's K-4 1000 m event and would thus create confusion to the average reader.

Germany upset Hungary, the defending Olympic champions and winner of every world championship in the event since 1986, despite losing a key member, Detlef Hofmann, to doping for testosterone two months prior to the 1992 games (Hoffmann would win gold in this event four years later in Atlanta.).
