Who are you and what do you do?
My name is Joshua Abuaku. I am 23 years old, have been living and training in Frankfurt am Main for over a year and run 400m hurdles.
What has been your greatest sporting success so far?
Definitely winning the silver medal at the U20 European Championships in 2015, that came as quite a surprise. But every medal at national level is also a success!
How do you eat in everyday life? Do you follow a nutrition plan?
I don't follow a strict nutrition plan, but I still try to eat a healthy and balanced diet. So a breakfast that gets me through training, lunch that replenishes my energy reserves and a light dinner. Going out to eat at the weekend is also a must. From Asian to Italian to burgers or kebabs, you should treat yourself to it.
Sport plays a big role in your life. What do you do in your free time?
Music is definitely one of my hobbies - it plays almost 24 hours a day. Apart from athletics, I also enjoy doing a lot of sports in my free time. At the weekend, I like to do something with friends and colleagues, be it going into town or partying in the evening.

"If I weren't an athlete, then I would be...?"
