because education makes the world make up your own mind. made for mines the this is one of kenya's best kayak is in training. the 545 will be that microsoft hang on to me holding this little guy. yeah. so that's a beacon lots well it's happening championships held almost exclusively in europe for africans like sammy missouri. that can be an obstacle for us to go out and participate in any events for 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 who, heights this somewhere will have to be side of jacob at different points and decide

whether we have going to go out or not the few natural landscapes of basis use it for slowing them kind of training. then central can use to gone over the uh, the cemetery grew up just steps from its banks of days. region was chosen to host the african championships, will slalom kayaking in 2015. he began to see the roses with fresh ice. i used to see him fed somewhat from that eva, taking the back home and i was young after we had that object, that shouldn't be shipped everyone around. what did they quote? so these are big sport, this big spose in spite 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 helmet. my jacket in my face got my puddle, used to be a kayak puddle, double blade on one blade, good broken that's available uh stick. i decided to improvise practices around it, 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 parents 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 these lived in france and they have easy access on kayaks and so they keep prints for us to get maybe like a bottle of a kayak in the country. it will cost a lot like because 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 training really hard. he's a tough athlete now about the 1st steps on the what was the when not so easy. when i joined the club, this 7th level, and i said 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 told him in winning that with these way up to the people and i just want to see the packing going and coming a big boat in slalom. kayaking involves completing the costs of hunting gates and the fastest time possible green gates across 12 moving down

stream. fucked rate. gates must be crossed in an upstream direction, oscillates and you are often training in the office of disease without official rivers and 5 o'clock gates. but here on this, the gonna semi and his friends make do with what they have in kenya, the as of, if you minutes and infrastructure is 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 pools. uh, reviews, thing and cable. then you 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 to do a level for see if as if disposing and equipment related. obstacles wasn't

enough. the biggest challenge lies ahead for sammy guessing baez's in the capital. nairobi we thing have i would like 1010 days before we fly out of our competition. 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. stressful. going full through defense, obviously is looking for a visa and all that. but yesterday and today we had a chance to do a training. that's why i have a smile on my, on my face. i like what, uh and this is almost like going, but the stress of his visa sagas soon returns at home piles of documents are still waiting to be submitted to the spanish and purchased embassies. a complicated process. yeah, for us to go out and participate in an event we developed country, we have to get lots of documents. he's uh like passports because invitations late

does our bank statements premium, okay, very good 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 went up kind that i would we yeah. if you go out there, you know what 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 these 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 nic calling because somebody has good reason to be consent of to being

invited to a u. k and them to qualify in 2015, he acquired his 1st passport at great personal expense. but the british visa was never issued and his documents languished. i'm used for another half decade. it's a problem sized by many african athletes, even at the highest levels. so in 2022 visa delay is caused 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 others like been in these athlete or d. o and renew 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 semi the recurring 2 hour bus johnny to nairobi means he's at a disadvantage. so for us to get visas, we have to stay out of the water and 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 it was the and sometimes i didn't actually on the time, i didn't want these to get pieces. so i don't know what time remaining would, he's just dropping the documents into the building over there. i'm hoping we'll get a visa the application is now out of somebody'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 interest for the. okay, you'll continue. games meet when you go into those suite much about the forward sweets and bucks weeks with them, but then you come back. all right, let's see it now. do it so know. nice. so ben's on he's one of the other thing we have,
