Samoan sisters Anne and Bridget Cairns are hoping to paddle their way into the 2020 Tokyo Olympics when they race in the Oceania Canoe Sprint Championships getting underway in Sydney.
Anne is no newbie to the sport, having raced for New Zealand in canoe slalom and outrigger canoeing, and is a three time white water rafting world champion.
But it's her little sister Bridget that has raised eyebrows.
