New Zealand's canoe sprint team has one chance to qualify their biggest boats for next year's Olympics.

The plan is to qualify both a women's and men's K4 for the first time. To do that they need to succeed at this week's World Championships in Germany.

Decorated Olympic paddler Dame Lisa Carrington is quietly confident they can get the women's K4 across the line with a team effort. Sports reporter Felicity Reid joined Lisa Owen.
