Kayak isn't able to be a team sport is it? Like equestrian or something can be. Just the fact that he gave this hint like this, seems like it might not have been any of the sports that we had left:

8-9. Known for sports
10. Not famous for a team sport
11-12. Has competed in summer olympics

15. In the first column of that list: http://www.olympic.org/sports? (sports first letter is A-G)
16. The sport is practiced outdoors
17. It is not track and field or cycling (in any form of it)
18. It is not Sliwinski

There's actually not that many options. The full exhaustive list (might have mistakes but meh):
Archery -
Wietse van Alten
Magnus Petersson
Canoes -
Juraj Minčík
Petar Merkov
Patrice Estanguet
Andraž Vehovar
Slavomír Kňazovický
György Zala
Martin Marinov
Sylvain Curinier
György Zala
Piotr Markiewicz
My bet would be Martin Marinov, who was Mr Bulgaria. Petar Merkov had a drugs conspiracy so could be possible. Honestly the rest are just random names with nothing notable at all.
Markiewicz, Mincik and Zala all have World Championship gold medals, so my bet would be on it being one of them. Markiewicz got a Cross of Merit for his sporting achievements, so I'd probably lean slightly in his favour.
