jobs are up to coming to us exploring modern lodge style and submitted to a name meeting people doing bedroom. the mediterranean this week on the dw the, this is one of kenya's based kayak is in training. you 545 that'll be that like the 1st 10 to the following to this level. so that's a big box. well it's happening championships, health, almost exclusively in europe. for africans like sammy 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 jacob and increments and decide whether we are going to go out or not. the few natural landscapes are basis use it for slalom 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. will slalom kayaking in 2015. he began to see the what was his with fresh eyes. i used to see him fed somewhat to somebody by taking the back home and i was young. half the we have not of the kitchen, but sheets everyone about what did they quote? so these a big sport this big suppose inspired sammy and he started to become

a kayak pioneer and kenya with minimal equipment. so guys, i'm ready for the team today. so that's my head minutes. my jacket in my face, got my bottle used to be a kayak bottle, double blade on one blade. got 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. sloan and world cup in spain and the will championships in london, which double as the qualifies for the powers and impacts. he's keenly aware of the resource gap between the gear he has and what's available in europe. most of the other do you live in france and they have easy access on kayaks in full. thank you, friends 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 version. 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 training very hard. he's a tough athlete now about the 1st steps on the what was the were not so easy when i joined the club this, that a lot i so i would, i had some friends who helped me for me. i do enjoy every minute when i'm in there what i'm doing very well. my main thing part is pretty olympic maybe and winning that with these by a few other people and i just want to see the packing going and coming a big boat slowing. i'm kicking involves completing

a course of handing gates and the fastest time possible. green gates are crossed while moving down stream. red gates must be crossed in an upstream direction, oscillates in europe, often training in the office of disease without official with is and 5 o'clock 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, painful uh, reviews being and cable that we have like both types. so we painted them green and red just to identify the upstream on the go see. yes. yeah. that's our own we own house to do

a level for see if as this disposing and equipment related, obstacles weren't enough. the biggest challenge lies ahead for sammy guessing. visa is in the capital. nairobi we've seen 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 we've been to night will be almost for like 3 or 4 days. dressing for going for 2 different offices uh, looking for a visa and all that. but yesterday and today we had a chance to do a training. that's why, how the smile on my, on my face, i like what, uh and this is almost like going that the stress of his visa sagas, seeing returns at home, piles of documents are still waiting to be submitted to the spanish and purchased embassies. a complicated process yet for us to go out and

participate in an event in the country. we have to get lots of documents is uh like passports because invitations latest our bank statements uh, premium. okay. uh they quote statements 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 want to kind that i would we yeah. if you go out there, you're not like going and thing definitely in the let's 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 for 5. yes. it's

a mall and wait for like the nic calling because somebody has good reason to be consent off 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 today is caused canyon spencer funding. not on yana to be left behind, while his teammates travelled 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. first, supposing, superstar office like been in these athlete or d, o $11.00 new will 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 semi the recurring 2 hour bus done a to nairobi means he's at a disadvantage. so for us to get visas, we have to stay out of the woods and we have to go tonight will be done every day. skipping 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 they propose 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 do

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 would be. dropping the documents into the building over there. i'm hoping we'll get the 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 to meet when you go into those suite much about the forward sweets and bucks week's window, but then you come back. all right, let's see it. do it so know. nice.

so uh ben's on he's one of the other thing we have. i don't think i know he was like the best junior for the last one, but he was meant to come with us in spain. but he didn't have a passport. and i'm sure it was a hustle for visas. yeah, we have a big group. nobody on your, from the same area, the all we seem to be locked out there and i'm happy to be present them, you know, big events. and i also know the happy for me. um. yeah, i'm so tired, man, sitting the lot was training. it was to find the boat next month. what i'm doing next month. we have 2 competitions. there's a world cup in the world championships, emily, i finally divide. i don't know if this training of ours will be enough for us to go

over there and compete with those guys this window homepage. now my demo with the boat, this visa stuff about the stuff. yeah, it's been hard hard when i don't need to go to night ruby and come back, things like that. but anyway, let's try what we can we're gonna do. i'm just waiting to see if this visa hope can be go and tell you what's hold on. one, so it's almost time for lunch. why do we head up and drop something to eat? a sure good. the day of sammy's departure has finally arrived and he's delighted by the news from the spanish embassy. today the day, i'm so excited. i'm heading to the airport. i already have this buddy's visa, so i'm going to put it in my country. it's way. but unfortunately, i don't have the u. k visa. so i will have to sit in my passport but hope to get a visa for you. k, it'd be something you're going to say, but that's hoping all everything will go through some, awarded all v as i'm,
