Dimi was introduced to wheelchair fencing during primary school and later experienced it at a summer camp. When he joined St. Benedict's, he chose it as a games option. The staff at the school ensured he had the best possible experience, which helped him develop a passion for the sport.

Training and Coaching

Currently, Dimi trains at the National Training Centre at the University of Bath in England. His national coach is Peter Rome from Great Britain. This rigorous training regime has prepared him for various competitions and honed his skills in multiple events.

Ambitions for Paris 2024

Dimi aims to win gold medals in individual and team events at the 2024 Paralympic Games in Paris. He plans to compete in all five events: category B epee, foil, sabre, and team epee and foil. This will be his first time competing in such a wide range of events.

Inspirations and Philosophy

Dimi looks up to British wheelchair basketball player Ade Adepitan and Ukrainian wheelchair fencer Anton Datsko. His personal philosophy is to avoid ever having to say, "What if?" with regret. This mindset drives him to give his best in every competition.

As Dimi prepares for the upcoming Paralympic Games, his dedication and hard work continue to inspire many. With his eyes set on gold, he is ready to make a significant impact in Paris 2024.
