General
FULLY-SIGHTED COMPETITION
He feels that his results in fully-sighted judo, including a bronze medal at the 2020 national championships in Lithuania, prove that Para judokas can be just as strong as able-bodied judokas. "A big stimulus for me is the realisation that I can fight not only visually impaired opponents, but also healthy opponents. This shows that we, the visually impaired, are not some kind of exception or weak. We train and prepare for competitions in exactly the same way and are just as strong." (delfi.lt, 06 Oct 2020)

In 2020 he started a master's degree in industrial engineering at the Vilnius Gediminas Technical University in Lithuania. (ukzinios.lt, 07 Jan 2021; delfi.lt, 06 Oct 2020)
