like christmas boats live is up next softer are so frank duck going the we are all set and we are watching to see all the to bring you the story behind the new the will on about come by as information for free might say do to in in my name is the calls back say thank you so much for joining in. welcome to don't hold a bad. a lot of people do that. it's all about saying it aloud,

and that's what it being nosy bay like good everyone to kings. check out the award winning called called the called back the to the my name is danita cindy. katie, i was born in pre scenarios and i multiple books and champion in cost. as i said, the whole solo don't yet have started cruise. many owners 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 pins. she's a supremely talented lightweight boxer, but there's a problem. just one, i always grade the championships on housing,

a country that doesn't recognize the cost of i'm solving the problem. but i might not be able to compete in those countries. simply because i represent costa very profound cycle. so one, what is your finding for a nation back from many other countries doesn't exist to politics knocked me out. the door on 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 at 3 well championships held in india, you know 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 an entirely 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 software and t 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 talk to on the, on the do to,

i might have been preparing some months to participate in a couple edition of the deed. and if one doesn't bundle and on the day before because one then told that my entry has been cancelled on store for me. oh, got you in the sort of steer to show more than what it was telling me to pull. it's always very g motivating them with the dean, but i've tend all these barriers into a source of strength in for an inter 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 the cost of i move on the new event. cool. i'm going yeah. 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 a are out in force and the cost of and capital head of a big night of boxing. the organizer is a former world champion to until 2014 represented 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 of old 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 immigrating, 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 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 lead his own country. as the pos, i also got a job, a task board because it enables you to fly anywhere for competitions. so it's

something it definitely needs as it sort of last month over the price for sonya and robin 1st met 3 years ago and he's confident she has a great teacher in the room desktops. i'm very proud of her, and i think she has a lot of potential. can see her winning a major title was an amateur, and they got also as a pro, i'll hope your will jump in your goods and often them with the 4 decades ago, syrups 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 has lived the dream of participating in every global competition as a representative of all communities is axis sally who born and pushed in a in 1984,

he became the 1st boxer of costs 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. jacob of is the best way to get to that time i represented the 25000000 people 100. i was always number one in yugoslavia southern that'd be in chrome national champion, 10 times thing was an absolute joy 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 sent academic

albany ins 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. sonya 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, forces us 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. and that leads to a lot of injuries among the se, sending noticed, put this or discuss. 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 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, look, i'm 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 also to 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 and off to 2 years of training vendors in 2022 together with my new coach. and we made a huge breakthrough for the cost of a office 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. beside for one of each of them, it's not just believing, i know the tell bring back can impact metal costs of i. once i'm bored, start john comp 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 press, new t as boxing professionally. uncomfortable for the 1st time. don't you have 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 i will be in the same position. the

cost of the 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 fees, obligations is very amicable. valgy i am in robin and i are in different dimensional symbols. i completed a to book single while he's a professional and this uh, 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 go and still thing is so i'll send you event like this can help raise awareness, but something needs to change. it might not make a difference politically, but sonya to and others with the same problems, at least feel that they are not forgotten.

on the right almosha and the guy to my dream is to compete you 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 book saying, okay, very, very far. uh some, some from a sporting point of view, tanya is short. sheila chief, her 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 signatures
