[Music] I think my whole life has changed my whole life is about Athletics it's about track and field it's about long jumping it's about sprinting it's about figuring out my place on the [Music] track I am Flo I'm doing para Athletics and I'm from Holland I started in 2013 by going to a paralympic talent day and I was just there to figure out what kind of sports are there I now have two prosthetic legs I don't know really what to do I have kind of a new life a new body I want a new sport as well so I started just looking there to see what's out there there was one big day organized by our national Federation where you can try different paralympic sports so I just went there tried I think five different sports and then with Athletics the coach uh yeah he saw me he saw what I did how I was built how I could move and I guess he liked what he saw because he gave me his phone number and said whenever you're ready come train with me [Music] please I guess I never saw myself as a winner necessarily and once I started picking up long jumping as well next to the sprinting I felt my true Talent I don't know like arriving or something I felt like wait this is really something I'm good at it's like it's rhythmic it's a little bit like dancing in the air and when I was young and I still had my natural legs I used to be a dancer so it made me more comfortable on the track and more confident and The Confidence from the long jump I brought it to the 100 m and it just proved that I am worthy of of being a winner of breaking records and that I'm able enough to do it go to the finish line and may be a strong performance with paralympic games in Paris my expectations are high because it's the first time in in in four years they can come to Stadium again and enjoy proper track and field enjoy winners enjoy records create like a buzz Al together of course I'm the one performing on the track and I'm doing like my job and in my focus but afterwards when you're successful being able to share that with you know my parents as well my parents my friends and just the whole crowd they're just so lovely and so enthusiastic and they they really have a love for the sport I think and I love the sport as well [Music] so training hard is the easy part everyone can train hard everyone can work hard that's easy the most difficult part I think is just keeping your cool during the competition having your moments where you're like oh take take a deep breath this is what I have to do this is my task for today and just have these couple of seconds for yourself and you know enjoy the crowd be open to the crowd but also have your moments of focus and stick to your own plan I think sport gave me a new purpose in life a new passion most of all it really gave me a new passion so besides it now being my my day job and performing at championships is like the highlight of my year it really gave me a passion back I get up every day to go to the track and to go to my team and my coach and just to work together and enjoy the time so it really gave me a new a new kind of life [Music]
