Introduction

I started finswimming at 7 and have reached every level in the sport. Beyond my athletic career, I prioritized education, earning a Biology degree and specializing in scientific translation. However, nearly 20 years in sports made me realize I belong in this field, leading me to pursue sports management studies, which I will complete this year. At The World Games 2022, I defended my 50m and 100m bifin titles and won gold and silver in lifesaving relays. A few years ago, I also began competing in swimming, and after just two years of training in swimming, I qualified for the 2024 Paris Olympics in the 50m freestyle and the 4x100m freestyle relay, winning a European Championship title along the way. The Olympics was a defining moment in my life. Coming from a non-Olympic sport, I never imagined competing on that stage. Finswimming shaped me, proving that the dedication of a non-Olympic athlete holds just as much value as that of an Olympian. One of my proudest achievements remains my two world records at the 2017 World Games, proving the extraordinary potential of non-Olympic athletes.
