was done yet a study clues, many honors and the ring include 2015 vice world junior champion 2017 vice european champion 2018 european champion 2022 world and european championships bronze medalist and 24. the 3 championed the football cans. she's a supremely talented lightweight boxer, but there's a problem. just one. i always grade the championships on held in a country that doesn't recognize the cost of items over the product. uh but i might not be able to compete in those countries. simply because i represent cost of the vault cycle. so on. what is your fighting for a nation back for many other countries doesn't exist. politics, note me out the

door, the other side to coach children read was born in 1999. she's been boxing since she was 12 years old. today, she's among the top 3 boxes in her category in terms of punching power. she's a multiple winner of domestic and international titles. and her tale is lower than it might be because she's not allowed to box everywhere. more stuff on sophia smarter and you know, i've been unable to compete to 3 well championships held in india and all the and for the european championship inside the. i think that my participation will be denied because i represent cost, divide that them so no provide cycle. so one temporarily sporting terms, donetta is not worried about her future. she trains hard every day. but unlike

most other fellow boxers, she also faces a fight on the political front. dozens of countries including china, russia and spain do not recognize the sovereignty of costs of oh cool thing is it's a lot to face intestinal obstacles, not being able to compete for political reasons. but the dba is and that really tough the only on the data i might have been preparing some months to participate in the collection of these. and if one doesn't bundle and on the day before because one been told that my entry has been comfortable in store for me. oh, gotcha. no, she lives dear to show more than what it was. i mean for it's always very d motivating them with the dean, but i've tend all these barriers into a source of strength in fort ident to metals montoya. it's really very difficult. so i always pray that the championships on toasted in

a country that doesn't recognize the independence of the cost of i and the new of and cool. i'm going yeah. because then my participation is not always guarantee nor do i just one. and of course the is the good it's early august and christian are members of the aisle painting and dias for are out in force and the costs of and capital ahead of a big note of boxing. the organizer is a former world champion to until 2014 represented the cost of of since then robin cross need, she has not had zone yet. has problems. for one simple reason. he changed his passport. now he represents germany leading. don't you have to wishing that costs a vote could have the same status as his adopted country? 5000 the i came to germany in november 2004. it wasn't easy and the beginning is everyone who does that experience has emigrating isn't easy to get over the years. we've overcome those problems at the end of the year we are and finally we can give

something back to our native country. those phones. i'm deborah the loan to all of us that sort of get past that. she is hosting this bossing event, precisely because he hasn't forgotten his homeland. and because he wants to draw attention to the difficult situation facing box, there isn't costs about fact. then he himself saw no other option then to lead his own country as the pos copies. i also got a job, a task board because it enables you to fly anywhere for competitions. so it's something you definitely need as is one over the price of donita and robin 1st met 3 years ago and he's confident she has a great teacher in the room. this does, i'm very proud of her, and i think she has a lot of potential can see her winning a major title as a nama children. i got also as a pro. okay. you'll be on the jump in your goods and often them the for decades

ago, syrups and ethnic albanians all lived in one country, yugoslavia and they all had a common champion, a scenario that seems unimaginable today for them to, to close up our boxers who is live the dream of participating in every global competition as a representative of all communities is axis sally who born and pushed in out in 1984 he became the 1st boxer of cost of our albanian descent to compete at the olympics. those representing the former yugoslavia were able to take part in all competitions on like cost of our athletes today. setup was this the best way to get to that time i represented the 25000000 people 100. i was always number one in yugoslavia. southern i've been crying national champion 10 times the was an absolute joy and composite about then i started boxing

in europe. i knew in the world or so under the olympics or to move on and beyond. the collapse of yugoslavia began in 1991 with the country, then gradually splitting up into individual states. comfortable as a war for independence from the serbian dominated regime ended in 1999. eventually costs a vote declared itself a sovereign country in 2008. but the bloody conflicts between serbs and estimate companions have created deep divisions so deep that they still don't recognize each other. almost a quarter of a century after nato intervention ended the cost of a war. after a decade of diplomatic efforts to normalize relations, the situation worse and again, tensions have been rising once more since 2021, exacerbated by the killing of a cost of our police man in the town to fund scott by ethnic serbs in september 2023 the

hoping she'll be allowed to compete in the next competition. i don't yada is fully motivated to train in addition to the issue of countries, not recognizing her passport. she also has problems with financial backing and costs of, of due to the limited funding provided by the young countries authorities. and also if any of those comes from the status of said from the food in youth and form. and it's really difficult for me is a large because in order to prepare the new to and the right form for our competition. so when we are forced to change between one or 2 different locations, the super techniques sets it up for so, so on. this one is to say that the home that they have at the moment doesn't even have to necessarily strength and conditioning equipment again. and there's lots to start off and then there's a lot of trouble flowing sol, so we have to train on concrete. and that leads to a lot of injuries among the fitness center. you know,

at this point this was discussed. it's something that the a so just not to pay more attention to this of the looking at where the lead sports men and women with great potential can do that training is what they supposed to cope with. instead of some small, the boxing federation of cost of oh, is aware of the problems. the poor training conditions are also linked to among other things, to the political situation in the country. constable is a small and relatively poor nation. and this is a little know or send to reach and we have a very small and limited budget which doesn't provide us with the means to support our boxers as much as we should for with this budget. and we struggle even to cover the general, the costs of international competitions that take place. so it's like a country looking dollars. i can goes around the moment the um to for number one of those moments when i really wanted to quit boxing was often losing at the tokyo 2020 and then picks got you in the it was a huge disappointment and left me in dispatch. possibly be all just after the in

impacts. i sat down and so it's about why i was depressed. so i'm why this has happened to me more. there is also a more i found a new team and a new spirit which has had really positive result of this and some positive and off to 2 years of training vendors in 2022 together with my new coach. and we made a huge breakthrough for cost of i. i'll 1st major metal in 40 years and bought a couple of vetoes. despite all the obstacles and d, motivating circumstances, there was no time for rest, a new day, same exercises in the same hall. the site for one of the 2 of them is it's not just believing. i know the tell bring back and i didn't pick metal costs of i was i'm board start john. but i can't say what the rest will be. gold, silver or bronze? because this bush is really big, i mean book saying, and this thing is possible. you mustn't the visa and once i've got best selling, pick metal, what am i think my coach and i will move up to the professional level books improve

as soon as 5 nights, i'm such a big events that it's being held in a football stadium, former world champion robin cross new t as boxing professionally and constable for the 1st time. tony at the end or train or maybe you'll know sell. okay. i don't want to miss the chance to be ringside for the bout with the hope that one day don't. yes, it will be in the same position. the cost of our athletes are set to enjoy these. a free travel in the us of 2024, but restrictions elsewhere remained difficult for plenty of us. but the rough estimates, the removal of visa obligations is very amicable. valgy i am in robin and i are in different dimensional symbols. i competed to book single while he's a professional and us, the best way to rubbing has a lot of advantages when it comes to entering competition. lot of the,

my mom to me having a passport from acosta, that there are a range of obstacles and nothing is such that i hope that in the future i'll also be able to compete on other countries without any problems, all the way up. and then you start the of the, of the going to think is a boston event like this can help raise awareness, but something needs to change. it might not make a difference politically, but don't you have to and others with the same problems at least feel that they are not forgotten. all the right almosha and the guy to my dream is to compete you to a level where all the best books is competes and you're probably going to for on the and i really believe that invoice. i'm going to, i'm professional book say okay, very, very far. some shots from a sporting point of view, tanya is short. sheila t for goals, but to continue her successes in international boxing. her passport needs to be

accepted everywhere. and for that to happen, a lot still has to change in the political arena. the is the most important stuff can be used across different geographies. the real china itself has needs to be an incredibly scarce way. what the heck us and transforming business is real new deals and lots, just green washing. what's now on the people in trucks injured was trying to feed the city center and the

straight people's screens, rooms of the around the world. more than 130000000 people us we of mine because no one should have to make up your own mind dw, may for mine's the .
