settled so that's a big thing that's will it's happening championships, health, almost exclusively in europe. for africans like send me 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 who have to be side of jacob and a few minutes and decide whether we are going to go out on the few natural landscapes of basis use it for slalom 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 fed somewhat to somebody's taking the back home and i was young of uh we have not of the kitchen to ship 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 kind of bottle double blade on one blade. good. broken that's available. uh stick. i decided to improvise up into 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 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 others even live in france and they have easy access on kayaks in o. thank you prince 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 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 really 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 of and i said i would, i had some friends who helped me for me. i do enjoy every minute. when i'm in there,

what i'm tired of my main thing, but maybe in winning that with these by a few other people and i just want to see the packing going and coming a be bought in doing a lot of kayaking involves completing a cost of handing gates and the fastest time possible. green gates are crossed while 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 the glass gates. but here on this, the gone to semi and his friends make do with what they have in kenya, the as of equipment 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, green falls uh reviews being and cable that we have like both types. so we painted them green and red just to identify the upstream on those to 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 baez's in the capital 9 rugby. we seem to have around like 1010 days before we fly out for our form of edition. 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 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 is almost like going back to space of his visa sagas seem to be tons 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 any event we developed country, we have to get lots of documents. is uh like passports. because invitations slater's our bank statements agreement, okay. uh they quote statements on 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 will not 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 support then 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 5. yes. said 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 11 new were even less fortunate despite being the only african to qualify for the contests hip test alone. she was never grown to the visa at all. even well, huge business travelers face months, long backlogs, when applying for visas at west and 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 do and or the guy behind the desk without, he's going to approve all my documents. and i've done these before going into the m . s. the and sometimes i didn't actually on the time, i didn't want these to get resist. so i don't know what i'm remaining with. he's just dropping these 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 meet when you go into those sweet about 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 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 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, the all wishing me luck out there. and i'm happy to be present them, you know, big events on i'm. i also know the happy for me. um.

yeah. i'm so tired, man said email i was 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 homepage. now my demo with a boat, there's visa stuff about the stuff. yeah. it's been hard. is the waiting on a little bit to go to nairobi 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 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? 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 it in my country in spite. 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 of you as i'm. 1 for the guns, even though my bus boats on my bus, i will set it like back to kenya and kind of, i don't know where the, the going to stump beds. toner, sunny's. u. k. visa was ultimately granted. bob, his passport was mailed back late. he had to re book his flight and lost imposing days for preparation in london. sammy came in a task out of $105.00 and failed to qualify. punch, he tells us his dream of becoming the 1st pallet to be present. can you see
