I am Raimeda Bučinskytė – an athlete from Šiauliai, a para-athlete. I graduated from Šiauliai Didždvaris Gymnasium and studied at the Humanities Faculty of the former Šiauliai University (master’s degree). It was in the City of the Sun that I began my shooting career. I have been nominated four times as the best athlete of Šiauliai and three times as the best para-athlete of Lithuania. I actively participate in the city’s life and am a member of the Šiauliai Rotary Club “Harmonija.” I am grateful to Šiauliai for giving me the opportunity to practice sports – here I became a multiple-time shooting champion, European vice-champion, and I represent Lithuania in international competitions. Currently, I aim to involve as many people with disabilities as possible in sports.
