London 2012 Olympic Branimir Budetić Paralympian athlete from Croatia
It is hard to run, throw and jump with a visual impairment but Branimir works very hard for his goals. Balancing training as well as college is also challenging for him,
but fortunately he is supported by his coach who helps him to reach the best training results.
