multitasking these, the modern man. because if we do too much, we paid it all wrong. we messed things up, risking brain damage. so let's stop this self sabotage humans and multitasking. watching our new to v w documentary the, this is one of kenya's best kayak is in training. if i, if i leave it like the 1st thing until the olympics, this slide on. so that's a big box. well, it's happening championships. i held almost exclusively in europe for africans like send me missouri, that can be an obstacle for us to go out and participate in any events within the country. we have to get lots of documents. submitting all those documents is not

a 100 percent like we are going to get to be this. so there is someone behind this somewhere will have to be side of check on different minutes and decide whether we are going to go out or not. the few natural landscapes are basis to use it for solemn kind of training. then central can use to gone over the god you sent me to recruit up just steps from its banks of this region was chosen to host the african championships. full slalom kayaking in 2015. he began to see the wolf is with fresh eyes. i used to see him fed somewhat to from that he was taking it back home when i was young, after we had that obligation to shift everyone about what did they quote? so these are big sport. this big bows inspired sammy and he started to become

a kayak pioneer and kenya with minimal equipment. so guys, i'm ready for team today. so that's my head minutes. my jacket and my face caught my paddle, used to be a kayak puddle, double bled on one blade. good broken. that's a mobile uh stick. i decided to improvise, but i figured it out and i use it for my training. so improvisation is key. as somebody is preparing to take part in the canoe, slalom world cup and spain and the bull championships in london, which double as the qualifies for the powers and impacts he's kenya aware of the resource gap between the gear he has and what's available in europe. most of the other the lived in france and they have easy access on kayaks and all they keep prints for us to get maybe like a bottle of a kayak in the country. it will cost

a lot like the k x we are using right now. the old old button, we just try to maintain them because we know it's hard to get any of the equipments down here for the last few months and few weeks we have been trading really hard. he's a tough as lead now. about the 1st steps on the what was the were not so easy when i joined the club this i don't club i so i would, i had some friends who helped me for me. i do enjoy every minute when i'm in the city, but my main thing, i think maybe in winning that with these by a lot of people on i just want to see packing going and coming a big boat in slowing them. kayaking involves completing the costs of

hunting gates and the fastest time possible. green gates across 12 moving down stream. rate gates must be crossed in an upstream direction. states in europe awesome training in the office of disease without the official with is and 5 the gloss gates. but here on this, the gone to semi and his friends make do with what they have in kenya. the as of, if you meant it for us stretches, we have the most chatted us compared to other countries. this loan, good. uh, so important that is uh you have to maneuver that on the uh, green falls uh reviews being and cable that we have like both types. so we painted them green and red just to identify the ups. do you mind the dosing get? yeah, that's our own we own house to do

a level for see if as this disposing and the equipment related obstacles when to now, the biggest tenants lies ahead for sammy guessing baez's in the capital 9 rugby we seem to have around like 1010 days before we fly out for a form of edition. uh for the couple of days we, we've not been saying uh we've been to night will be almost for like 3 or 4 days. just before going for 2 different offices, looking for a visa and all that. but yesterday and today we had a chance to do a training. that's why, how this my, on my, on my face, i like what, uh and this is almost like going back to space of his visa sagas seem to be tons at home. piles of documents are still waiting to be submitted to the spanish and push embassies. a complicated process. yeah,

for us to go out and participate in any event. we developed country, we have to get lots of documents is uh like passports. because in addition, slater's our bank statements uh, premium, okay. uh they called statements on and all that stuff. i don't know why they do ask for all those documents in as an identity. you seem to have something to come back home for like you have a happy family. you have like the duties from home. you will not kind that i would we yeah, you can go out there. you know what like going and thing definitely like, let's say it doesn't feel comfortable for you. yes. all those kind of questions and you're just going for sportsmen 10 bucks on. so if i don't get a chance the on the on these events, and i'll have to wait for another like 4 or 5 years to say more and wait

for like the next calling. because somebody has good reason to be consent of to being invited to a u. k. and them to qualify and 2015. he applied his 1st passport at great personal expense. but the bridge is visa was never issued and his documents languished on used for another half decade. it's a problem sized by many african athletes, even at the highest levels. in 2022 visa denies cause canyon sprint, etc. not on yana to be left behind, while his teammates traveled ahead to the world athletics championships in the united states. the o africa recruit holder had his visa, denial reversed at the last minute and ended his 20 hour plane journey to 3 hours before his $100.00 mesa race began. hardly ideal conditions for supposing superstar office like been in these athlete or d, o 11 new with even less fortunate. despite being the only african to qualify for

the contests, hip test loan, she was never grown to the visa at all. even well, huge business travelers, phase months, long backlogs, when applying for visas at western embassies with the interview process can be grueling and invasive. so actually it's like send me the recurring 2 hour bus. johnny to nairobi means he's at a disadvantage. so for us to get visas, we have to this is the out of the what i we have to go tonight will be done every day. slipping our sessions on training. somehow visit for cameras. i'm not allowed inside the embassies, so we catch up with sammy, for a tea break, as he prepares to drop off his final application for a visa to spain. yeah, it has been a long day looking for visas. i have my documents here and the already,

they don't know the guy behind the desk with that he's going to approve all my documents. and i've done these before going into the m s. c. and sometimes i didn't actually own the time or even monday to get visas, so i don't know what time remaining with he's just dropping these documents into the building over there. i'm hoping we'll get a visa. the application is now out of sammy's hands, and he's able to focus on what he loves most, preparing for his upcoming contests, and motivating a new generation of sedona locals to take an interest in this for the . okay, you'll continue games meet when you go into the suite much about forward sweets and bucks week's window, but then you come back. all right, let's see it. do it so know. nice.
