I can handle pressure - Brabants

Tim Brabants
Beijing will be Brabants' third Olympic Games

Chertsey canoeist Tim Brabants has said he is not worried by the added pressure of going to the Olympic Games as a current world champion.

Brabants won the K1 1000m class at the 2007 World Championships in Duisburg.

He told the BBC: "I'm going in with high expectations of two medals but I can handle the pressure well.

"I am used to having to race the same guys over and over again at many different races, so the pressure is not an issue."
