Why do you enjoy canoeing so much?
I enjoy the sport as a whole, the feeling of the boat in the water, and
theres nothing better for me than low cloud cover with glassy water.
What is the status of 200m Sprinting in RSA?
Sprints in RSA has picked up in the last few years and is getting bigger
but is still shadowed by marathon.

I do specific 200m training twice a week
What does your typical day consist of?
Typical day varies according to lectures but always a session in the afternoon
16:00, supper and then bed at bout 10.
What do you think about 200m racing?
I think that 200m is Canoe/Kayak's equivalent to the 100m in athletics
and should be added to the Games, it won't dissapoint.

I am currently using a Cleaver-X in training and a Plastex Athena in racing
