Behira (Mother) - Club Memorial
Mother
At the first anniversary club memorial, mother Behira traces Barak's athletic journey: swimming from 2nd grade, falling in love with kayaking in 6th grade, building his whole world around training, competitions, medals, and the Olympic squad. "We parents supported and wondered where this champion athlete came from — we're not a sports family. But the message was: whatever you do, do it the best you can." He completed the senior coaching course with plans cut short by a terrorist's bullet.
