Tim Brabants: Thule’s Treasure in Beijing
|
Great Britain has a chance to add more water-sports gold to their medal table this week, in the form of Thule-sponsored sprint kayaking doctor, Tim Brabants.
Brabants has already secured his place in the K1 1000m finals during today’s heats, dominating the race and achieving the day’s fastest time. He now has the K2 500m heats tomorrow before the finals on Friday and Saturday– and there is no doubt the world will be watching with anticipation after GB’s success in the water so far.
Speaking to journalists after the K1 100m heat, Brabants said: "I didn't really want to send a message, it's more like I wanted to remind myself why I came here, I wanted to reassure myself by winning the heat."
With Beijing 2008 proving to be the most successful Olympics for Great Britain in over 100 years, the country’s attention is fixed on the Olympics as Team GB strives to build on their success and their medal table ranking.
Thule, the world’s largest manufacturer of car roof rack systems, roof boxes and accessories has supported Brabants since 2007 through its Partner in Sport Scheme. Thule have supplied Hull-a-Port kayak carriers, roof bars and items from the Load and Go range; all of which help transport Brabants to events the world over.
In the last year he has achieved podium positions at the Hungarian, German and Polish World Cup Regattas. In the Athens Olympics in 2004 Brabants broke the World Record in the K1 1000m heat and in 2006 he took silver in the K1 1000m event; Britain's first World Championship medal in sprint racing in 20 years.
Good Luck Tim!
