and it seems like we are going to get visas. so there is someone behind this somewhere who have to be side of jacob at different points and decide whether we are going to go out or not the few natural landscapes of basis use it for slalom kind of training. then central can use to gone over the uh, the cemetery grew up just steps from its banks of this region was chosen to host the african championships for slalom kayaking. in 2015, he began to see the roses with fresh eyes. i used to see him fed somewhat to from that eva, taking the back home and i was young. half the we have that. i think that you and the ship, everyone about what did they quote? so there's a big sport. this big bows 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 head minutes. my jacket in my face, got my bottle used to be a k, a bottle double blade on one blade. good. broken? that's a mobile uh stick. i'd say that to improvise profit sort out and use it for my training. so improvisation is key. as somebody is preparing to take part in the canoe, sloan and world cup and spain and the bull championships in london, which double as the qualifies for the parents 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 these lived in france and they have easy access on kayaks and for that coupon 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 bunch and 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 said were not so easy when i joined the club 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 instead of my main thing, i told him 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. slalom kayaking involves completing

a course of hunting 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 into a facilities with artificial, 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 mean and infrastructure is the most, chatted us compared to other countries. this loan, good, 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 ops team on the dose you get. yeah, that's our own. we own house to do a level for see if as this disposing and the equipment related obstacles went

enough. the biggest challenge lies ahead for sammy guessing visa is in the capital, nairobi 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 before 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 this my, on my, on my face, i like what, uh and this trading almost like building that 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 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 of 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 turned 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 for if i use that same mall and wait

for like the nic calling because somebody has good reason to be consent off 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. i'm used for another half decade. it's a problem sized by many african athletes, even at the highest levels. in 2022 visa, today's course 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 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 hep, tesla. and she was never grown to the visa at all even well, huge business travelers, phase months, long backlogs, when applying for visa is at western embassies with the interview process can be grueling and invasive. so actually it's like semi the recurring 2 hour bus jenny 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 out and it 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 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 this before going into the m s. c, 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 we'd be dropping these documents into the building over there. i'm hoping we'll get that either 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 getting 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 now do it so know. nice.

so uh, based on his one of the other thing we have. oh goodness. he was like the best junior uh uh for the last one. but this year he was meant to come with us in space . but he didn't have uh, fox sports and to see why it was a hustle for visas. yeah, we have a big group. nobody on your from the same area. the old leasing me not out there. and i'm happy to be present them, you know, big events. and 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. there's a world cup in the world championship. emily, i finally divide, i don't know if this training of others will be enough for us to go over there and compete with those guys this window. now my demo with the boat,

this visa stuff about the stuff. yeah. it's been hard, hard when the night will be to go to night, ruby and come back, things like that. but anyway, let's try what we can we can do for you. i'm just waiting to see if this visa can be go. i'll tell you that. let's hold on one. so it's almost time for lunch. why don't 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 this buddy's 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 you're going to say, but does hoping all everything will go through some of what it will be as i'm you
