a set of blocks from us, but if you do stick around, you've got spots slice, which, which means kenyon kayaker would dream someone up at gloria counted by visa. that's up to me. i've never said as far as thank you for watching. the my name is the calls back, said loud. thank you so much for joining in. welcome to don't hold bad. a lot of people do that. it's all about saying it aloud. most would have being nosy bay, like get everyone talking to healthy award winning called called don't call back. you cream was like a step in points, you know, time what you into that warranty wants to finish your studies. now you have a safety from the train. you can choose to go back or somewhere else currently, more people than ever on the move in such

a passion life. yeah. give me something that is come in very, very sense. and yeah, can we learn more about or know when a story info, migraines the, this is one of kenya's based kayak is in training. if i would, if i would be that like the 1st 10 to the following to this level. yeah. so that's a big box. well, it's happening championships. i held almost exclusively in europe for africans like send me missouri, that can be an obstacle for us to go out and participate in an event for the country. we have to get lots of documents that meeting all those documents is not a 100 percent. like we are going to get to me this. so there is someone behind that

somewhere will have to be side of jacob. and if it has been decided, will it be, i'm 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 slot them kayak. in 2015, he began to see the what was his with fresh eyes. i used to see him fed somewhat to somebody by taking the back home and i was young of uh we held that obligation to ship everyone about what did they quote? so there's a big sport this big spose 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 hadn't met my jacket in my space that my father used to be a kayak bottle, double blade on one blade got broken. that's a bubble uh stick. i decided to improvise, but i figure it out and i use it for my training. so improvisation is key as somebody is preparing to take part in the canoe slot and world cup and spain and the world 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 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 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 were not so easy. when i joined the club, this level i said i would, i hits of its who helped me for me. i do enjoy every minute. when i'm in there, what the tire instead of my main thing, what is the committee and winning that with these way up to those people and i just want the packing going and coming to be brought in. can you sign them? kayaking involves completing a course of hunting 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 inside 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 a few minutes for us stretches we 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, green falls 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 dos and get them. that's our own way on how to do a level for see if as this disposing and equipment related. obstacles went in the

house to get lots of documents is uh like passports because invitations slater's our bank statements uh, premium. 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 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. to 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 4 or 5 years to say more and wait for like the next calling. because somebody has good reason to be consent off

to being invited to a u. k. olympic qualifying 2015. he applied his 1st post post at great personal expense. but the british visa was never issued and his documents languished on 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 record holder had his visa to na 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. first, supposing, superstar office like been in these athlete or d o m, i knew were even less fortunate despite it 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 face months long backlogs, when applying for visas at western embassies with the interview process can be grueling and invasive. so actually it's like sammy, 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 m s. c. and sometimes i didn't
