Six-year-old boy Ismail Zulfic gets a high-five from his coach during the training at the Olympic Pool Otoka in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. He was born without arms and with a deformed foot into a society that often neglects and marginalizes people with disabilities. But his parents and an inspirational coach have helped him overcome his physical limitations and a fear of water. In 2017, after one year of training, he won a gold medal at a regional competition in Zagreb, Croatia.
