Sport specific information
When and where did you begin this sport?
She took up Para athletics in 2010 in Bagcilar, Turkey.
Why this sport?
She was introduced to the sport by her neighbour who worked as a driver for Para athletes in Bagcilar, Turkey. "I was upset that I was always at home and lived as if there was no other impaired person in the world. I never left the house. So, it was the first time I saw impaired people as a crowd. They were joking among themselves. I was surprised that they could make fun of themselves. It seemed interesting to me. Wheelchair racing was a very difficult sport. I had to lean all the time, our hands were hurt even with gloves. I was ashamed to say I was always having a hard time. So then the training continued, and soon I won my first championship."
