Watch Sadat Kawawa in Nile Kayak Race in Uganda

‘Way of the Wildcard’ released every Wednesday tells the story of unexpected athletes succeeding in the most unlikely circumstances.

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 realizes 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.
