I started rollerblading at 10 years old after joining a parade in the town I lived in. During the event, a kind lady helped me out and recommended a local club, which I decided to join. It's a sport I enjoyed doing and participated in several competitions.
I started wakeboarding as a summer activity because it seemed like an exciting sport that wasn’t as weather-dependent as sailing. I quickly grew to love it, spending countless hours on the water learning new stunts and tricks. Despite my dedication, I see it purely as a fun hobby and have no desire to compete.
I spent a year scuba diving and found it to be an amazing way to explore the deep sea, filled with beautiful marine life and vibrant vegetation. It was a unique experience that deepened my appreciation for the underwater world. I unfortunately had to stop in order to focus on track & fields, but still managed to obtain my level 1 in order to be able to dive 20m.
Sailing, a sport I began and thoroughly enjoyed during the summers, allowed me to make numerous friends and gain experience navigating various ships. It was a delightful activity that I had to discontinue due to my age, as the summer camps I attended were designed for a younger audience. Consequently, I transitioned to Wakeboarding.
I practiced roller hockey for a long time, and it was the reason I started rollerblading to improve my skills. Our team competed in multiple championships, earning regional podium finishes. However, after COVID-19, the team gradually fell apart as many players left for their studies or switched to ice hockey.
I started swimming at the age of three because it was mandatory in my family. While I never aimed to become a competitive swimmer, I’ve always felt it was important to develop strong and stable swimming skills for any situation where they might be needed.
I took up tennis because many of my friends were already playing, and it seemed like a great way to spend time together. What started as a casual activity quickly became one of my favorite ways to connect with others. Beyond just being a sport, tennis became a fun way to create lasting memories with friends while staying active.
I discovered Chanbara during an open day and decided to give this Japanese sport a try. I really enjoyed it and had a great time learning and competing. After a year, I chose to stop because I needed a rest day in my schedule, and this was the only available moment. Despite that, I’m proud to have won a gold and a silver medal in a local competition during my time practicing the sport.
I practiced horseback riding for several years because I found it entertaining to experience what I had often seen in kids' movies. However, as I grew older, my interests shifted, and I transitioned to other sports, such as hockey.
I started Judo at the age of three and continued until the COVID-19 pandemic. I loved Judo because it was a fun and entertaining way to learn self-defense. I participated in many local competitions, though nothing exceptional. I eventually stopped at green belt when I found that the environment had become toxic.
I played basketball for a while because people often told me that, given my height, it was the sport I should pursue. However, I never truly enjoyed it and didn’t feel a strong connection to the game. The only reason I stayed was because of the coach, whose support and guidance made the experience worthwhile. When the coach left, I no longer felt motivated to continue, so I decided to move on.
