Health

After an accident in which I have lost control of both my legs, I was born for the second time. It was a tough period in my life, but I had to face reality and keep moving forward. Instead of giving in to depression, I started rowing and competing on big stages, including the 2016 Rio Paralympics. Rowing under the Lithuanian flag was the best feeling in the world, and I am currently working my way to the 2020 Tokyo Paralympics, where I wish to win a medal.

MY TOPICS

Topic is a subject you can talk about with Augustas Navickas.

Facing Physical Disabilities

It's impossible to describe the feeling that stroked me when I realized that I wouldn't be able to control my legs anymore. At some level, my mind and soul got paralyzed as well. It took me an incredible amount of work and support of loving people to overcome the physical disability finally.

Rowing

Rowing requires a lot of upper-body strength, will, and determination, especially when you do it professionally. I am thrilled that I found this sport and I want to promote it to everyone who is looking for a new activity.
