Maria Jesus Bermudez [national], ESP

She took up the sport in 2004 in Pamplona, Spain. (tokio2020.dxtadaptado.com, 25 Jul 2021)

"On land, whatever I do requires more effort because of my impairment, but in the water everything is equal. As a child I was thrown into the pool to float, so I started swimming and then played water polo. I was away from Spain for a few years and when I returned in 2004, I tried to do some outdoor activity and found Club Nautico de Navarra, where I fell in love with rowing. It is a sport where you disconnect from everything, it gives me peace of mind." (tokio2020.dxtadaptado.com, 25 Jul 2021)

"A few months ago [speaking in July 2021], it was unthinkable for me to be at the 2020 Paralympic Games in Tokyo. I still cannot believe it. On a personal level, it is a gift that will be remembered forever. It was off my radar, I was competing at a level that was totally different, so this experience will be exciting."
