Dr. Tim Brabants MBE
British Olympic Flatwater Canoeing Gold Medallist, Beijing 2008
Tim Brabants MBE powered to his first ever Olympic gold medal in the final of the Men's K1 1,000m in Beijing, banishing the disappointment of Athens four years ago. This success was closely followed by claiming his second Olympic Medal from Beijing and his third in his career when he added a Bronze Medal in the K1 500m. Since winning in Beijing he has already managed to win his first triathlon at the Mens' Fitness Roughtrack event. In 2010, he won a Silver in the K-1 1000m event at the World Championships.
