“It came out perfect, everything I’ve been training lately. Drabowski is a strong athlete, who has achieved great results, reaching the podium in recent competitions. Against him, you can’t score silly, because he arrives”, declared the athlete, who represents the Physically Disabled Association of Paraná/PR.
Jovane Guissone highly valued the victory in Hungary, as it gives him more confidence for the dispute for a medal at the Paralympic Games in Paris (2024): “It was a very good competition, with a very high level, because the dispute now is to go to the Paralympic Games. But it was really cool and I had really good fights, putting into practice all the fencing I trained in the room”.
