Contents / Description
Anja Renner lives with Usher syndrome and has only about ten percent of her vision left. Today, she is one of the world’s top paratriathletes and won the bronze medal at the 2024 Paralympic Games in Paris. The lecture combines personal experiences with the reality of a progressive eye disease: How does it change everyday life? How do you deal with uncertainty? And why is it important not to become passive? Anja talks about how she redefined her path after her diagnosis—both in sports and in dealing with her vision. A talk about attitude, responsibility, and the decision not to give up on yourself, even when your own possibilities change.
Speaker
Anja Renner & Jens Schaumann
Anja Renner is an active paratriathlete in the German national team and winner of the bronze medal at the 2024 Paralympics in Paris. Jens Schaumann is a presenter and expert at Okuvision.
