Silver and bronze medallists at the Tokyo Paralympics

Paralympic bronze medallist, world and
European champion para table tennis player
“I was nervous during the first match, so I lost.
I didn’t have the faintest idea how I would get
through the finals. My coach, Iván Vitsek, and I
discussed that I would need to enjoy the finals,
and whatever happens, happens. All in all, I was
anxious a lot, I lost countless points and match
points, but I managed to win, and that is what
counts. I am happy that I could finish my first
world championship with winning the gold medal.”

“anks to sports, my personality is much
more focused, organised and efficient. I
have learned to face my faults, and I’m
getting to know myself more and more.
You can do sport for the pleasure, the
company, the friends. It is also a great
opportunity to realise that we are capable
of much more than we think.”
