damages from that exhibition that in vienna, that's on right now, and that, that you're up to date coming up next for fly photos. the lease of charles lucifer canyon olympic asked me, don't forget that. can all of you can always get one use on our website a, d, w dot com and on social media henderson at dw news. i'm the massage as far as thank you so much for watching the people in trucks in judge west trying to see the city center the straight pieces explain the around the world more than 130000000 people us we

all mine because no one should have to make up your own mind dw, made for mines of the this is one of kenya's best kayak is in training. if i put, if i leave that microphone can enter the olympics and this slide them. yeah. 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 an event to develop the country. we have to get lots of documents submitting all of those documents. it's 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. i'll 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 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 roses with fresh eyes. i used to see him fed somewhat to somebody by taking the back home and i was young. uh, we have that obligation to shift everyone around. what did they quote? so these are big support,

this big suppose in science army. 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 double blade on one blade. good. broken that's available. uh stick. i decided to improvise profits around it and i use it for my training. and so improvisation is key. somebody is preparing to take part in the canoe, slalom world cup in spain and the world 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 lives 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 the k x we are using right now. the old old button, 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 training very 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, let me pull up this and i said, well, 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, i think maybe in winning now with these way up to other people and i just want to see the packing going and coming to be doing a lot of kayaking involves completing

a course of handing gates and the fastest time possible green gates across to all moving down stream, red gates must be crossed in an upstream direction. oscillates in europe, often training into a facilities with artificial rivers and fiberglass 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 mean and infrastructure you have the most chatted us compared to other countries. this loan get uh, so important on that is uh you have to maneuver that on the uh, being for 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 if disposing and equipment related obstacles weren't

enough. the biggest challenge lies ahead for sammy guessing. visa is 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 we've been to night will be almost for like 3 or 4 days. the dresser for uh, going for 2 different offices. uh, looking for a visa and all that bought yesterday and today. uh, 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 trading almost like the board. but the space 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. yeah, for us to go out and participate in an event we can, that's

a country. we have to get lots of documents these uh like passports because in addition, slater's our bank statements, uh, the 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 sports been done back 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. olympic qualifying 2015. he acquired his 1st passport at great personal expense. but the british visa was never issued and his documents languished on use for another half decade. it's a problem sized by many african athletes, even at the highest levels or in 2022 visa delays caused canyon spencer setting. 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 to non 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 m, i knew were 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. this is the out of the what the 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 resist. 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 to the the 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 in the support 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'll come back. all right, let's see it now 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 this year, he wasn't meant to come with us in space, but he didn't have uh, fox sports. and i'm sure it was a hustle for visas. yeah, we have a big group. nobody on your from the same area, vo, leasing me not on this. and i'm happy to be present them, you know, big events on. i also know how before we got them. i know um yeah. i'm so tired, man, reading this training. it was to find the boat next month. what i'm doing next month. we have 2 competitions. as a world cup in the world championships, emily, i finally divide. i don't know if this training of those will be enough for us to go over there and compete with those guys this window. now my demo with a boat,

there's visa stuff about the stuff. yeah. it's been hard when a night will be to go to night, ruby and come back, things like that. but anyway, let's try what we can. we gotta do. i'm just waiting to see if this visa 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? sure. 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 the buddies visa, so i'm going to put this in my country in spite. but unfortunately, i don't have the u. k visa. so i will have to send my passport back home to get a visa for you. k, to be something they're going to say, but does hoping all everything will go through some of what it will be as um,

you know, for the guns we, we, those, my boss sports. uh, my boss. uh, i would say that like spot 2 in kenya. and um, kind of, i don't know where the, the goodness done fit, toner, sunny is u. k. visa was ultimately granted, bought his passport was mailed back late. he had to re book his flight and last important days for preparation in london. sammy came in a passed out of $105.00 and failed to qualify thoughts. he tells us his dream of becoming the 1st pallet to be present. can you the lympics still lives on the of the simple solutions for the deluca problem.
