TK Osvit [Zagreb, CRO]

Toni Tomas [national], CRO; Dinko Kostic, CRO

She took up taekwondo at age 13 at the TK Osvit club in Zagreb, Croatia. (zeneimediji.hr, 27 Sep 2019)

She was inspired after seeing boxing in a TV show. "I took up taekwondo pretty late, at age 13. Most kids have already got a black belt by that age, but I only became interested then. When I entered the training hall for the first time, I knew this was what I wanted to do and that I would not leave the hall." (generacija.hr, 30 May 2019)

Philosophy:

"Anything is possible, only if you don't give up when it gets hard. And certainly it will be. Still, sport is the most beautiful thing. Whether you do it professionally and recreationally, it will make you a better and happier person." (dnevnik.hr, 05 Mar 2021)

DIABETES
In June 2019 she was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. "Diabetes has changed my life a lot. When I got the diagnosis, I quickly decided that it would not prevent me from fulfilling my obligations and from dreaming to reach the top of the sport. Of course, there are good and bad days. Sometimes everything is great, but other times my body doesn't listen to me and nothing goes how it should. This is difficult, but then I remember that tomorrow is a new day and I can start again."
