nothing in that meeting. 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 chico and a few minutes and decide whether we are going to go out or not. the few natural landscapes are basis to use it for some of them kind of training then central can use to gone over the god you sent me to re grew 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 fits him with somebody taking the back home and it was the young half the we have not of the kitchen,

but sheets everyone about what did they quote? so the, the 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 kind of bottle that will blood on one blade. good broken? that's a mobile uh stick. i decided to improvise what i figured out and i use it for my training. so improvisation is key. somebody is preparing to take part in the canoe, sloan and world cup in spain and the bull championships in london, which double as the qualifies for the powers of lympics. 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 and all they keep

going 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 tried to maintain them because we know it's hard to get any of the equipments down here. for the last few months, a 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, 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. my main thing part is pretty olympic maybe and winning that with these by a few other people on i just want to see the packing going and coming

a be doing a lot of kayaking involves completing a course of handing gates and the fastest time possible green gates across 12 moving down stream rate 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 equipment for us stretches we have the most chatted us compared to other countries. this loan get uh so important. um that is uh you have to maneuver that on the uh, pitbulls uh, reviews, things and cable that we have like both types. so we painted them green and red just to identify the upstream on the dose. yes. yeah. that's our own way on how
