Two University of East London (UEL) students will be looking to compete at the Canoe World and European Championships in the summer.

They talk about their studies at UEL, being part of the East London Sport community, and share insight into the support they get from lecturers and coaches to help them achieve academic and sporting success.

They also discuss their aims and ambitions for the forthcoming World and European Canoe Championships and future sporting events like the Olympics.
