a lot like the k x we are using right now. the old old version. 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 and 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 little club 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 doing very well, my main thing but is totally maybe and winning that with these by a few other people. and i just want to see the packing going and coming a big boy in slowing them. 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 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 equipment and infrastructure. we have the most chatted us compared to other countries. this loan get uh so important. um that is uh you have to maneuver that on the uh, green falls uh, reviews being and cable. then you have like both types. so we painted them green and red just to identify the upstream on those things. yes. that's our own we own house to do a level for see if as this disposing and the equipment related obstacles when to

now, the biggest tenants 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 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. just before going for the defense offices 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, but the stress of his visa sagas seem to be tons at home. piles of documents are still waiting to be submitted to the spanish and push embassies. a complicated process. yeah, for us to go out and participate in any event, because that's

a country we have 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 will not kind that i would we yeah. if you go out there, you're not like going and thing definitely. and let's say if he doesn't feel comfortable for you, yes. all those kind of questions and you're just going for sports, 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. it's

a mall and wait for like the nic calling because somebody has good reason to be consent off to being invited to a u. k. and them to qualify and 2015. he acquired his 1st passport 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 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 knew 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 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 do

whole wide spread is a problem of alcohol abuse and addiction and kenya. in fact, you should be prepared to national do that. if possible for them as we have done, got a book points you felt like you need to drink in excess to go to that alcohol addiction for 13 years. well since my 1st drink, basically see if it goes, the government is doing nothing. oh, this 77 percent. next on d, w. heavy metal bice, doing away with an older. felicia is only for do the same 60 minutes on the
