  • Way of the Wildcard tells the story of unexpected athletes succeeding in the most unlikely circumstances.
    ► Watch Episode 2 The Barefoot Biker here: • The Barefoot Mountain ...
    ►Take a look into the lives and childhoods of pro athletes on Red Bull TV: www.redbull.co...
    Grown up on the banks of the White Nile, Sadat Kawawa quickly fell in love with Kayaking - a sport rarely pursued by his fellow compatriots. Swapping various services in exchange for Kayaking lessons from tourists, Sadat quickly realises his potential on the water. Going from strength to strength, it isn’t long before Sadat qualifies to test himself against world’s best when they come to compete in his home country of Uganda.

    Congratulations to all these kayakers. True sportsmen. Breath.taking video. Well done Sadat. You make your people and country proud. Well done RedBull for seeing the need to sponsor these people who are not only the best in their field in a dangerous sport, but respectful of the environment. We need much more of this. I dollow Nouria, also sponsored by you.
