Flatwater kayaking with a gold medallist
Tim Brabants ‘ carbon-fibre Nelo kayak glistens in the low winter sun. It is his pride and joy – ” the vessel in which he took gold at Beijing – ” and it’s also expensive, worth about 2,500. Holding the boat tightly, Brabants lets me sit in the cockpit, where my kayaking career ends abruptly.
