Angela Hannah took up the sport 12 years ago when she moved to the UK from Zimbabwe as a competitive hockey player. She initially started as a rower but was talent spotted by British Canoeing and quickly fell in love with the sport. “I immediately loved the sport and loved being on the water - even if it took a few months to have my first dry session. When I look back, there were so many highlights, racing and training in amazing places, with a great team with a great team ethos. I was always the strong paddler, the powerhouse at the back and I learned so much from the other girls I paddled with, especially Lani (Belcher) and Hannah (Brown) in the K2 who really helped me with the technical aspects of paddling,” said Angela.
