K1 kayak sprints Age 33 Born Chertsey, Surrey Honours 2008 Olympic gold K1 1000m sprint and bronze K1 500m sprint; 2000 bronze 1000m sprint; 2007 K1 1000m world champion " I train on the 2012 course every afternoon, so it's one that I'm already very familiar with. Of course, it will change dramatically as we get closer to the Olympics and they build grandstands. Will it give us an advantage? Not really: our sport is so changeable depending on weather conditions that you have to be prepared for anything."
