I have an interview with Sinisa Vukonic. Sinisa is cross skiing Olympic. He was in the Olympic games twice, and he was representing Croatia just two years after Croatia was formed as an independent country. Today Sinisa is enjoying the snow on local mountains with his son, who is also practising cross skiing. I choose to interview Sinisa because, coming from the same country, Croatia, our connection starts with that. Still, I have a love for snowboarding and basketball, and it is always inspiring to talk with a person who achieves results with hard work and passion for the sport. Olympic games are a dream form every passionate sportiest. Through this short interview, I have learned that achieving results needs courage, hard work, and sacrifice a lot and that our dreams are possible to achieve.
