“Either you have a feel for the water or you don’t.”

Nik Egger

Canoeing isn't exactly popular here. The training center is located in France, across the Swiss border, and looks more like a 1970s civil defense shelter than a facility for professional athletes. Despite the adverse conditions, Dimitri Marx, at 25, is among the world's best. I accompanied him at the Swiss Championships in Hüningen (France). 6x7 negative film and Super8.
