JAN POVYSIL
THE MAN
I’m Jan, I’m from the Czech Republic, I’m 43. I work in the media—newspapers—and I’m a former Paralympic swimmer. Now I’m into bodybuilding.
THE ATHLETE
In 2020, I finished my swimming career. I didn’t know what to do next, so I went to the gym—and that’s it. Four, five years now, I’ve been training, and now I’m a bodybuilding pro. That’s all.
THE HERO
I’m not a hero. I’m just a regular guy in a wheelchair. I swim and I do bodybuilding. It’s nothing unusual. I’m not a hero.
