Biography
Started: He began shooting in 2005 in Belgrade, Serbia. (Athlete, 08 Sep 2016)
Reason: He had shooting experience from his time serving in the military, and took up shooting Para sport as a way of meeting new people. "I have always loved sport. I used to play wheelchair basketball, but then I decided to return to my beloved shooting. This sport may not require as much physical strength as it does mental strength. In this sport, you don't have an opponent - you are your own opponent, which is much more difficult than competing against someone." (espreso.rs, 22 Nov 2019; Athlete, 08 Sep 2016)
