Sport specific information
When and where did you begin this sport?

His father served as his first coach before he began to train at an athletics club and try other disciplines. "I found information on the internet and I signed up to the Slovak Association of People with Impairments in Bratislava. It is an individual sport where I have to rely only on myself. I don't have to try to cheat my opponent. It is pure sport, and athletics is the queen of sports, so I could not do any other one."
