What is the Olympic record for the men's 1000m Canoe Double?

There is some dispute over open water events since water currents and wind can drastically affect the results. As such, the Olympics do not hold up such results as "official" records so much as recorded results. The fastest time ever clocked at an Olympic competition for the men's 1000m Canoe Double was at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics when Andreas Dittmer and Gunar Kirchbach of Germany took the gold with a time of 3:31.9. Perhaps there are faster times recorded in the heats, but those would take some digging to go through. The world record is only around 3 seconds faster than the time above, so this is probably the fastest seen at the Olympics.
