Meet Croatia’s track and field Paralympians – a squad of grit, talent, and big dreams 🌟. Led by discus ace Ivan Katanusic, the team is gearing up for the Paris Games with eyes on a seven-medal haul!
Katanusic, 33, a Tokyo 2020 silver medalist 🥈, told NewspaperAmigo.com:
\"When I hold the discus, it’s my enemy. I just throw it far.\"
Born with a limb deficiency, he’s shattered barriers since learning to walk with a prosthesis at 13 months old.
\"My parents never saw me as disabled,\"
he shared, crediting their support for his success.
The Croatian team blends veterans and fresh faces – including a rising shot-put star eyeing world records 🚀. Their secret weapon? A mix of experience and hunger.
\"We’re here to make history,\"
said Katanusic, ready to turn adversaries into golden moments.
