About Wojtek Czyz

  • Wojtek Czyz (born July 30, 1980) is a German Paralympic track and field athlete from Polish part of Silesia. In 2001, he was an aspiring professional soccer player, and had just signed terms with SC Fortuna Köln.

  • According to Czyz, the injury was gravely underestimated due to professional failure.
