challenges faced by talented thoughts of from kosovo who sovereigns, he's not recognized by many other countries, and that's impacting korea as when he was at dw dot com, told me you're ready for the sometimes it's hard to find what you're looking for. but we've got something for you. i think the board is twice think ahead or was outside the box on your but always remember to think for yourself. we all had to somebody was incredibly like the driving you with free information.

dw made for mind the to the my name is danita cindy, katie, and i was born in christian now, and i most pull books and champion in cost as i said, the whole solo don't yet have sadie cruise. many honors in 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 is 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 position. i might not be able to compete in those countries, simply because i represent costs a very profound cycle. so one, what is your finding for a nation back for many other countries doesn't exist. politics knocked me out. the door, sad 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 so if i'm on, sophia smarter and you know i've been unable to compete at 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 on fairly 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 and personal obstacles, not being able to compete for political reasons. giga 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 kept on store for me, got you in the solution here to show more than what it was telling me to pull. it's always very d, most of a take them with the dean, but i've turned all these barriers into a source of strength in force and into metals latoya. it's really very difficult. so i always pray that the championships aren't hosted in a country that doesn't recognize the independence of costs. if i move on the new event. cool. and then you know, because then my participation is not always guaranteed, nor do i just one. and of course the is a good a 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 had a big night of boxing. the organizer is a former world champion to until 2014 represented cost of of since then robin

crossing, which he has not had tony yet has problems for $1.00 simple reason. he changed his passport. now he represents germany leading don't yet have wishing that costs about could have the same status as his adopted country. by thousands of november, i came to germany in november 2004. it was easy and the beginning is everyone who does that experience has immigrating, isn't easy to get over the years. we've overcome those problems about 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 to 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 leave his own country. i go that past. i also go to germany passport because it

enables you to fly anywhere for competitions. so it's something you definitely need as a sort of a one over the price for sonya and robin 1st met 3 years ago and he's confident she has a great teacher in the ring. investors. i'm very proud of her and i think she has a lot of potential who can see her winning a major title as an amateur and they've got also as a pro, i'll help you with whatever you go to. and often them with the for decades ago, serbs and ethnic albanians all lived in one country, yugoslavia and they all had a common champion, a scenario of the scenes unimaginable today. one of the few costs of 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 it 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. say a couple of these the best, but again at that time i represented the 25000000 people 100. i was always number one in yugoslavia. southern it'd been crime and national champion 10 times thing was an absolute joy and composite about then i started boxing in europe. i knew in the world war 2 and we'll and think so to move on and be on. 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

campaigns 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 find scott by ethnic serbs in september of 2023, the hoping she'll be allowed to compete in the next competition. sonya is fully motivated to train, in addition to the issue of countries, not recognizing her passport. she also has problems with financial backing in cost of, of due to the limited funding provided by the young countries. also worries alternators comes from there, see

a subset 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 in the right form for our competition. solomon, we are forced to change between one or 2 different locations except for thickness. it's enough to force us up on this one and that's another home that we 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 event that leads to a lot of injuries among the fitness center. you know, at this point this was discuss, it's something that the a so just not to pay more attention to this of the looking at what are the lead sports men and women with great potential can do that training is what they supposed to cope with. instead of some small boxing federation of cost of who 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, a nation. and this is

a little know or separation. 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 use it on the moment the um to turn them off. one of those moments when i really wanted to quit boxing was often losing at the tokyo 2020 and then picks up. got you in the it was a huge disappointment and left me in dispatch. possibly be all just after the an impact. so i sat down and so it's about why i was depressed. so i'm why this has happened to me more of the total more i found a new team and a new spirit. we just had really positive result of this and some positive adults to, to use of trainings in 2022 together with my new coach. and we made a huge breakthrough for the cost of the office, major metal in 40 years and bought a couple of vetoes. despite all the obstacles and the motivating circumstances,

there was no time for rest. a new day, same exercises in the same hall. the site for one of each of them is it's not just believing, i know the tell bring back in and impact metal costs of either $1.00. some thoughts start down the comp say whether we still be gold, silver or bronze because this bush is really big. i mean book saying, and this thing is possible, you must natalia solid visa and once i've got the 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 across new t as boxing professionally in kosovo. for the 1st time. sonia to enter trainer mo, you'll know sallow kind of 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 estimate and the removal of the visa obligations is very amicable. valgy i am in robin and i are in different dimensional symbols. i can be to a to book single while he's a profession on this. the best way to rubbing has a lots of advantages when it comes to entering competition model. the model for me having a passport from the costs of the 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 at all. 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 sonya and others with the same problems, at least feel that they are not forgotten

on the right, how much to go to my dream is to compete to, to a level where all the best books is competing and all you can afford on that. and i really believe that invoice, how much? uh, and professional books. okay. very, very far. uh, some, some from a sporting point of view, tonja is sure surely cheaper 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 kind of always in signature style is
