Greaves, who is still riding high after achieving a bronze medal at an international regatta in Slovakia last month in the 200m K2 alongside partner Fred Kemp, will be hoping to repeat his medal success in the K1 Sprint at both 200m and 500m.

The 15-year-old who attends Trinity School, trains at Royal Leamington Spa Canoe Club under coach Tom Love.
