Sport specific information
When and where did you begin this sport?
He took up the sport in 2005 in Magdeburg, Germany.
Why this sport?
He first discovered Para sports in 2004 when he watched the Paralympic Games in Athens on television. The same year his family moved to a new city, which inspired him to look for a sports club. "I searched the internet and wrote to a coach that I found. I told him I was big, sporty and have just one hand and wanted to go to Beijing for the Paralympics. At the time I did not know that I was writing to the national coach. But he wrote back and said 'Yes, come by and we will have a look'. That is how it started."
