She encourages other young people who want to get into sports not to wait for the right time: “Let the confidence build while you start the journey!”     Ana advocates for equal representation and equal funding for athletes with disabilities as for non-disabled athletes.

But that dream cannot be taken for granted. It requires constant work – today more than ever. ----------------------- 🔔Subscribe - www.youtube.com/user/eucouncil ----------------------- Follow us: ➡️Instagram - instagram.com/eucouncil ➡️Facebook - facebook.com/eucouncil ➡️X - https://x.com/EUCouncil
