Tim Brabants

Jules Timothy Brabants MBE (born 23 January 1977) is a British sprint kayaker who has competed since the late 1990s.

He took a year off from competitive kayaking in 2005 to complete his medical studies at the University of Nottingham followed by a spell as a doctor in Jersey.

At these games Brabants made his way into the history books by being the first Briton to win a gold medal in either the sprint or slalom kayak discipline.

He won a silver medal at the 1998 World Canoe Marathon Championships in Cape Town, South Africa.

Brabants was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2009 New Year Honours for services to sport.
