About Me

I am from Istanbul, Turkey. I see the Bosphorus in every piece of water that I come across. I did my military service like all us Turks must do, and took that training into my badminton. I do not know the word defeat. I will become the greatest badminton player that ever existed. I love Raki, and cannot understand the new banning smoking laws in the world. I trained with the Whirling Dervish for dexterity and balance. My name means "the acrobat". That is how I play the game.
