""This is my life now and this is my dream-the Olympics. And I wouldn't want it any other way. Sport is a part of my identity and I'll do whatever it takes to make it happen.""
""My mother, who has worked her a** off to help me and my brother afford this sport, is one of the strongest people I know. She taught me the 'do whatever it takes' mentality, and I think this is a pretty good demonstration of it.""
Klass Francisks Rozentals defends his choice to pursue an Olympic dream funded by OF, despite criticism. His brother Kurts Adams Rozentals faced a ban from Paddle UK for a racy video, forcing him to choose between modeling and athletics. Klass highlights the inadequate financial support for Olympic athletes, stating he earned significantly more from OF than his grant from Paddle UK. He has switched to compete for Latvia, inspired by his mother's hard work and determination to support their athletic pursuits.
