The most memorable moment of my of my brief career in beach volleyball undoubtedly was the "Kings Challenge". I had the opportunity to play in the ‘backyard of my house’, against my biggest idol in the sport (Karch Kiraly), and moreover, win it! Without the skill and daring of Intersport, this great event would not exist, and certainly something would be missing for me. Thanks, Intersport , for making my dream come true!

Intersport did an amazing job with "Queens Challenge" and I was lucky to be a part of it. The event was executed beautifully and I hope I will have many more opportunities to compete again!
