The Archer

Life often demands defining moments, and I've made my choice – to become a success story and proudly represent my country. Amidst the intense training, sweat, and tears, the joy of doing what I love is immeasurable. Nottingham was the ultimate opportunity to qualify for "Rio 2016," blending a European Championship and a quota qualifying tournament. More than a competition, it was a dream to explore Great Britain, a dream that materialized during this trip. I also agreed with the "Something Something" team to capture more footage for our documentary, adding an exciting layer to the experience. Our journey took us through Istanbul, a familiar yet vast airport, then to Birmingham, and finally, a cab ride to Nottingham. This trip stood out as one of the best experiences I've had. The picturesque beauty of England unfolded, even in the limited time I had. Nottingham, with its sprawling university campus and beautiful surroundings, proved to be captivating. The ab...

Like in the previous blog, again I begin by apologizing for not being able to write as often as I would like too. I absolutely miss this but I cannot seem to find enough time to sit down on my chair, think and write these blogs. However, that being said, I don't plan on stopping it.

I want to begin this blog, by apologizing to you guys, I haven't been able to write that much lately, I don't have a lot of time and I cannot seem to find motivation to write, however, whenever I find the time and I start writing, I love it. I am also training for an upcoming important competition, that is taking a lot of time out of my schedule and work hasn't been easy either. I promise one thing though, I won't stop writing, I may delay blogs but I will keep em coming. Today my story goes to the beautiful Viking land. I want to share the story of my time in Denmark, taking part in the World Archery Championship there. 2015 was a big year, I had a lot of training and multiple international competitions and I have to admit I got tired a little bit by the end of the season. This Championship was at the end of the season, I was tired but I had to compete here because this is where the best athletes come and compete, you cannot miss a chance like this and that was the r...
