Put false or true:

Nobody managed to kayak the whole length of river Severn before Maya

Last Saturday, fifteen-year-old Maya Collins became the youngest person to kayak the entire length of the River Severn — Britain's longest river. The 354-kilometre journey took her eleven days, and thousands of people came to the finish line in the city of Bristol to welcome her back.

Maya started kayaking when she was eight years old and quickly became one of the most talented young paddlers in her region. Her trainer, Dave Holt, says he has worked with Maya for five years and calls her "an extraordinary athlete with a brilliant mind for planning."

The journey was not easy. On day four, bad weather forced Maya to stop for nearly six hours. She also had to carry her kayak over two sections of shallow water. However, she never thought about giving up. "I set myself a goal," she told reporters at the finish, "and giving up was never an option."

Maya is already planning her next challenge: a cycling trip across Europe. She hopes to raise money for a charity that builds schools in rural communities. Her school, Westfield Academy, is planning a special celebration in her honour next week.
