Dania Obratov

Originally from Split, Croatia, Dania is a former professional luge athlete with a Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology, specializing in Strength and Conditioning. Throughout her athletic career, she proudly represented both Croatia and the Netherlands at the highest levels of international luge competitions.
