A metropolitan from Germany, multilingual, a former athlete in boxing, wrestling and football, plus a keen supporter of the "Squadra Azzurra" since a young age, I love looking at all sorts of sport searching for new stories from a Middle Eastern and German perspective. My aim is to bring together and present different angles from the Orient and Occident in the world of sports. I have worked as a news speaker and television presenter with a focus on global and international news.
