Altenberg Canoe racing

Summary

I am a paracanute from Austria. At the age of 7, I lost both legs in an accident. 21 years later, I am a 6-time world champion and Olympic silver medallist.

Description

I am the most successful Austrian para-canoeist with a total of 6 World Champion titles and 5 European Champion titles. My sport and I celebrated our debut at the Paralympics in Rio five years ago. I was able to live up to the high expectations and took home the silver medal. Canoe racing is very popular in Germany and especially in Hungary and is also becoming more and more popular in Austria. Since the races of the para-athletes take place within the framework of the non-disabled European and World Championships, this sport also has a large reach.
