It is a great pleasure and honor for me that, as Plazma Sports Games of Youth celebrate 30 years of existence, I am becoming an ambassador of the Games and part of this incredible sports family. Sport has taught me discipline, perseverance, and fair play, but it has also brought me invaluable friendships and lifelong memories. The most important things are not just medals, but the love for sport, friendships, and self-belief.
