Notes:
Jon Boyton is a Men's K1 1000m sprint kayaker and is a member of the 2012 GB Senior Team.
Jon claims that he was no good at any sports when he was growing up!
Membership at his local canoe club was only £19 for the year so it was a really cheap way to keep me out of trouble... and out of the house... he says that his mum signed him up for three nights a week!
The highest point of his career was coming 8th in the U23’s European Championships and becoming double National Champion.
