For a long time, almost no one could defeat the 2,5 years older Kozak in the 500m competition, including Lisa, who lost to her at least three times at the World Championships and Olympic Games (Duisburg, Rio, Moscow). Lisa won in 2015 in Milan, (and in 2017, Kozak didn't compete!). As Kozak aged, her results began to decline, especially after 2017, as kayaking was no longer the most important thing in her life. Kozak has two children (2017, 2023) and since then, her family has come first. Lisa, on the other hand, doesn't have children... So I believe that when Kozák was at her peak and dedicated everything to kayaking, she won almost every race in her 500m event, with Lisa only managing to beat her once out of 4 finals. Of course, everything changed after 2017. Both are great athletes, but it's not fair to look at things one-sidedly without considering the background and the specific information that greatly influenced the results.
Idézek valakit, aki leírta mi is a helyzet: "Kozak 2,5 évvel idősebb, és elsősorban 500 méteren versenyzett. Lisának esélye sem lett volna Kozak ellen Londonban 500 méteren, és 500 méteren kikapott tőle Rióban, ahol Kozak megnyerte a K1, K2 és K4 500 méteres versenyszámokat. 2016 végére Kozáknak már 5 olimpiai aranyérem és 1 ezüstje volt, Lisának pedig 2 aranya és 1 bronza volt. És a világbajnoki címeket nem is említem. Lisa csak 2015-ben tudott nyerni Kozak ellen. Lényegében Lisa ideje Kozak virágkora után jött el, mert 2017-ben megszületett Kozak első gyermeke, és a család lett az első számú prioritás az életében. Ettől a dátumtól kezdve Lisa igazán ragyogni kezdett 500 méteren. Addig Kozak minden kétséget kizáróan a világ legjobbja volt 500 méter felett. Mindketten nagyszerű sportolók, és nagyobb tiszteletet kell mutatnia egy hatszoros olimpiai aranyérmesnek. Lisa karrierje hosszabb, de ez választás kérdése, nem tehetség kérdése. Tehát 200 méteren Lisa a királynő, 500 méteren Kozak volt a legjobb." Igen, éppen így van. By the way, I'm not saying I'm unbiased. 😉 ❤🤍💚
Thats incorrect. For a long time, almost no one could defeat the 2,5 years older Kozak in the 500m competition, including Lisa, who lost to her at least three times at the World Championships and Olympic Games (Duisburg, Rio, Moscow).

Долгое время почти никто не мог победить Козак, которая была на 2,5 года старше, в забеге на 500 метров, включая Лизу, которая проигрывала ей как минимум трижды на чемпионатах мира и Олимпийских играх (Дуйсбург, Рио, Москва). Лиза победила в 2015 году в Милане (а в 2017 году Козак не участвовала!). С возрастом результаты Козак стали ухудшаться, особенно после 2017 года, так как каякинг перестал быть для нее главным занятием в жизни. У Козак двое детей (2017, 2023), и с тех пор семья для нее на первом месте. У Лизы же детей нет...
You don't seem to know much about this sport, do you? Kozak is 2.5 years older and primarily competed in the 500m. Lisa wouldn't have stood a chance against Kozak in London at 500m, and she lost to her in Rio at 500m, where Kozak won the K1, K2, and K4 500m events. By the end of 2016, Kozak already had 5 Olympic gold medals and 1 silver, while Lisa had 2 golds and 1 bronze. And i don't mention the world championship titles. Only in 2015 could Lisa won against Kozak. Essentially, Lisa's time came after Kozak's prime, becouse in 2017 Kozak's first child was born, and family become her number one priority in life. From that date Lisa really started to shine in 500m. Until then Kozak was the world's best without any doubts over 500m. Both are great athletes, and you should show more respect to a 6-time Olympic gold medalist. Lisa's carreer is longer, but this is the question of a choice, not a question of talent. So in 200m, Lisa is the queen, in 500m Kozak was the best.
Danuta has only beaten Lisa once at Olympic level and has never won the K1-200. Also most of her golds were in teams events. Lisa's gold have all been in individual racing (K1), except for winning the K2-500 in 2020. Lisa would have even more golds if New Zealand had more top female kayakers at the beginning of her career. She's won both the K1-200 and K1-500 at world and Olympic level. Also unbeaten over K1-200. Lisa is obviously the better athlete
