Ben Haylett

Ben Haylett made his first senior appearance in 2021 at the World Cup Final in Pau, aged 20, and has since become an established performer at under-23 level.

In 2023, he won bronze in the kayak team event at the European Under-23 Championships in Bratislava, with Sam Leaver and David Paterson, and finished sixth in the individual K1.

Haylett experienced his first international title at the World Junior Championships in 2019, claiming gold in the K1 team event alongside Jonny Dickson and Etienne Chappell in Krakow.

He discovered canoeing, aged eight, after going swimming and noticing a poster advertising the sport at the pool.
