MEET THE TEAM

Angus Gibson - C1 WW

Having spent my childhood competing in slalom in my C1, I'm now having fun testing my skills in C1 whitewater, whilst also pursuing a PhD in Philosophy.

Despite enjoying the bigger whitewater challenges, the best kayaking I get is a family trip down the river Tay at Stanley, no waterfall comes close to surfing with your whole family!

Sophie Ogilvie - Slalom C1 and K1

I'm Sophie Ogilvie, a British canoe slalom athlete. What started as a hobby turned into a full-time journey chasing gates, medals, and moments that test every part of me. I race in C1 and K1, and this sport has taken me all over the world — pushing me to compete at the highest level.
Along the way, I’ve earned team medals at the World Championships, the European Games, and multiple European Championships — but for me, it’s about more than the podium. My drive comes from home, the river, and a deep belief that I’ve got more to give.
Through it all, I live by one motto: Always learning. On the water, in life, and every step in between.

Kerry Christie - WWR

I'm Kerry Christie, I'm 22 and I am a wild water racing paddler.  I've been paddling since I was 8 and really just love the sport and all things paddling.  I predominately paddle K1 and C2 with my sister, but have recently tried C1 and do a little bit of that too.

I love river racing because it's always interesting.  I love paddling through waves and going really fast!  River racing takes me to a lot of different places, I love paddling and learning new rivers and being outside on the water.  Most importantly though, I really love the racing, especially abroad where we visit some really beautiful places. 

Current acheivements include :-

Senior European Championships - 3rd in C2 Classic 

Senior World Cup - 3rd in K1 Classic, 2nd in C2 Classic, 2nd in C2 Sprint, 2nd in C2 Mass Start

U23 World Championships - 2nd in K1 Classic, 1st in C2 Classic, 1st in K1 Classic Team, 2nd C1 Classic Team, 1st in C2 Sprint, 2nd C2 Sprint Team
