Sport Specific Information
Sport Specific Information
When and where did you begin this sport?When I was one year and two months old, my parents took me ice skating for the first time. This was due to the fact that my parents and my siblings had already come to the ice rink. And while I wasn't walking yet, my walking skills weren't advanced, I had already started skating on hockey skates. I started my adventure with short track when I was five to six years old. At that time, I was skating recreationally at our ice rink, and coach Darek Kulesza saw that I was skating and that I was quite talented, and he invited me to my first short track training. And from that moment on I have been associated with it, I think for the rest of my life."
