Biography
Reason: "This desire was born in me early, while I was watching bicycle races with my grandfather and felt the first adrenaline rush that this sport brings. In addition, I felt that team sports were not suitable for me. I got into tandem cycling as a visually impaired rider. Then a new door opened and I entered the world of triathlon, and joined two more beautiful but difficult sports - swimming and running. These three sports, which are otherwise incompatible physiologically, make a combination of one of the most difficult, but also the most beautiful sports in the world. Through this sport, I finally got to know myself and my possibilities, learned that there is always more that can be done and that there are no obstacles that cannot be overcome."
