A LONG-TERM DREAM
A big dream. Today’s work.
Around two years ago, Bence set Brisbane 2032 as his long-term Olympic dream. He is working towards it, but it is a personal goal, not a prediction of qualification. Today, learning, helping his team and enjoying sport come first.
School, wellbeing and shared experiences are part of development, alongside serious training.
