Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Who has been your inspiration and motivation that led you to your success in the world of canoeing and kayaking?
Ms. Nouria Newman:
Many different paddlers and role models inspire me. It goes from Gisèle Halimi or Simone de Beauvoir (French feminists), to famous journalists, historical personalities, writers (or even book characters) to champions like Tony Estanguet (3x Olympic Champion) or stylish paddlers such as Aniol Serasolses & Evan Garcia…
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
You won Gold Medal in ICF Canoe Slalom World Championships 2014 (K-1 team), 1st Place: Ottawa XL – Freestyle Ottawa, Canada 2013, Extreme Kayaking World Champion Oetz, Austria 2013, Female Paddler of the Year Award as voted by Canoe & Kayak magazine 2013, Rider of the Year Awards 2012, Best trick women 2012, 1st Place: Whitewater Grand Prix Chile 2012, 1st Place: Voss Extreme Week Norway 2012 and Four-time French National Champion – Slalom (2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009). What responsibility these awards and winnings bestow upon you in your future efforts and activities in the field of canoeing and kayaking?
Ms. Nouria Newman:
I’ve had some good results but I also had a lot’s of really bad results. When I was a junior one of the older paddler told me that high level sport involved more hard times and tears than good results. It’s probably true but the good times are totally worth it !
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
With exceptional hard work you are credited with all your achievements. Do you believe that does the hand of Providence (Supreme Being) played a role in your success?
Ms. Nouria Newman:
I don’t believe in any God or kind of supreme being. I believe that things happens for a reason. As a result of a context and action. Sometimes we can’t explain it you can call it “the hand of providence”, “God”… maybe there is a little bit of “luck” or “bad luck” but I see things as construction, causal chain and probabilities.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
What you wish to say about the website Womenfitness.net and message for its visitors?
Ms. Nouria Newman:
It’s interesting to see a website with such a large range of different topics, I think everyone can find some good reads and helpful tips. And my message to the visitors : don’t let anyone tell you what you have to do, do what you love, believe in yourself and follow your dreams.
