Polina Rozkova: Stay Calm and Don't Have a Cow

In this episode of Making It to Milan, co-host Dani Aravich speaks with Polina Rozkova, a Latvian Paralympian who competes in both wheelchair fencing and wheelchair curling for Latvia. Polina shares how sport has been part of her life since childhood, starting with swimming at age three, and how she discovered fencing during rehabilitation after her injury in 2009. She reflects on representing Latvia at the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games, and returning for Beijing 2022. Polina opens up about accessibility barriers in Latvia, financial challenges, and the realities of training without professional funding. She also explains the debut of mixed doubles wheelchair curling in Milano Cortina and what it means to potentially make history. Throughout it all, she credits her late mother, her friend Diana, and her rescue cat Archibald for grounding her journey. -- Subscribe to our mailing list to get the latest on Flame Bearers episodes and more! https://www.flamebearers.com --- We want to hear from you!
