Summary
Description
Once an athlete, always an athlete - no matter what paths or crossroads life has in store for you. This was also the case for me. Even with a cross-section, my ambition can't be stopped and only 3 years after my Day X, I was competing in my first Paralympics. Obstacles are created in the mind and only the post is abandoned. Following this motto, I have been swimming in the Paralympic circus for 7 years now, between my job and my family, all the way to Rio, where I made it to the final. I am a passionate swimmer, who enjoys performance, success and the feeling of having achieved something. But always striving for new goals, new shores - to be unhindered and achieve the optimum despite my disability.
