Sponsorship
Joe Coombs, Kayak Slalom Canoeist
We are delighted to be sponsoring Joe Coombs, a young Kayak Slalom Canoeist aiming for a place in the London 2012 Olympic Games. Joe is from Alderbury, near Salisbury and now lives and trains at the National Water Sports Centre in Nottingham.
Ranked 5th in the UK – and a former silver medalist in the Junior European Championships – Joe’s aim is to secure selection for the Under 23 GB Squad. Joe regularly appears in the media. He attended the official opening of the Olympic Slalom Course and has also spoken on radio about funding for future Olympians.
