France, Great Britain and Germany all have a chance to win a record seventh gold medal in men's K1 team.
Together with East Germany, the three countries are currently tied on six gold medals in this event.
France won the title in 2014 - ahead of Czech Republic (silver) and Great Britain (bronze) - and can win the title in back-to-back years for the second time in team history, after 2005 and 2006.
The last team to win the title in consecutive editions was Germany in 2010 and 2011.
France lead the total medal table with 18 medals: G6-S6-B6. West Germany follow with 14 medals: G4-S4-B6.
Boris Neveu (FRA), Sébastien Combot (FRA) and Mathieu Biazizzo (FRA) will again make up France's team. Neveu can join Alexander Grimm (GER) and Thomas Becker (GER) on three gold medals in men's K1 team. Only Richard Fox (GBR) has won more (5).
Neveu can also win a record sixth medal of any colour in this event, G2-S2-B1. He currently shares the record of five with Fox, Becker, Fabien Lefevre (USA) and Daniele Molmenti (ITA).
Molmenti also has a chance to win his sixth medal in men's K1 team, G1-S2-B2.
German Grimm is looking for his fourth gold medal in this event, while team mate Hannes Aigner (GER) can win his third gold medal in men's K1 team.
Germany most recently won the title in 2011 but have failed to finish on the podium ever since. They ended in seventh place in 2013 and in 16th place in 2014.
Great Britain are looking to win their first men's K1 team title since 1997. Ever since, they have racked up one silver (2009) and one bronze (2014) medal.
Silver medallist in 2014, Czech Republic are aiming to win their second gold medal in men's K1 team, after 2009. This excludes medals won as Czechoslovakia.
