off a century, often the 1st impala is right. that's all for now. sports life coming up off to the break. looking at how the lack of a visa stands between a canyon kayak a. and he's a living the dream that story coming up after a short stay with the thoughts we say they're about never getting up every weekend on d. w. sometimes a cd is all you need to allow big ideas to grow or to bring an environmental conservation to life with learning facts like global ideas, we will show you how climate change and environmental conservation is taking shape

around the world and how we can make a difference knowledge gross through sharing. download it now for the this is one of kenya's based kayak is in training. if i, if i leave that microsoft thing into the olympics we this slide them. yeah. so that's a big box. well, it's happening championships. i held almost exclusively in europe for africans like sammy missouri. that can be an obstacle for us to go out and participate in any events we developed country. we have to get lots of nothing in that meeting. all those documents is not a 100 percent. like we are going to get to be this. so there is someone behind this

somewhere. we'll have to decide, i'll check on different minutes and decide whether we are going to go out or not. the few natural landscapes are basis 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. full 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 when i was young. uh, we held that obligation to ship everyone about what did they quote? so these a big sport this big bose inspired 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 space, my father used to be a kayak puddle, double bled on one blade. good broken. that's a bubble uh stick. i decided to improvise, but i figured it out and i use it for my training. so improvisation is key. somebody is preparing to take part in the can this loan and world cup in spain and the will championships in london, which double as the qualifies for the powers 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 so they keep prints 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 trading really 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 i don't flap. and i said i would, i had some friends who helped me for me. i do enjoy every minute when i'm in the city, but my main thing calling in winning now with these by a few of the people on the packing going and coming a big boat in slalom. kayaking involves completing the costs of hunting gates and the fastest time possible. green gates across 12 moving down

stream. fucked rate gates must be crossed in an upstream direction. oscillates in europe, often training in the office of disease without official rivers 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 minutes and infrastructure, you have the most chatted us compared to other countries. this loan, good. uh, so important that is uh you have to maneuver that on the uh, green pools. uh, reviews, thing and cable. then you have like both types. so we painted them green and red just to identify the ups. do you mind the dosing get? yeah, 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 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 our 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 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, 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 any event in the 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 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 5 years. it's a mall and wait for like the nic calling because somebody has good reason to be

consent. after 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 recruit 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 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 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 m s. c. 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 into the the 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 week's window, but then you come back. all right, let's see it do it so no nice. busy ben's on he's one of the other thing we have. i don't think i know he was like
