Started: He took up Para judo in 2014. (hurriyet.com.tr, 04 Sep 2016)
Reason: He was encouraged to take up judo by his trainer. "While we were at a camp with the national [non-Para] wrestling team, there was a visually impaired judo camp near us. Since judo coaches are close to wrestling, and when they learned about my vision impairment, they said I should give it a try. That's how I started."
