“Feeling fear is part of losing.” - Maya Wasowicz
In her coach's opinion, Maya Wasowicz is one of the ten best karate fighters in the world. When the Polish-born athlete moved to New York at the age of eleven, she did not speak a single word of English. Her passion for sports introduced her to karate. Here, she could express herself perfectly.
Her big dream these days: to represent the USA and her discipline for the first time in the Olympics in Tokyo.
We talked to the Pan-American champion, who was also third in the World Championships, about her unusual career and why the 27-year-old likes to wear BIRKENSTOCKs during victory ceremonies.
