Biography
Agnė Sereikaitė emerged from a country with a deep winter sports tradition, choosing the chaotic, high-speed world of short track. Born in 1994, her career is a testament to focused ambition in a sport where milliseconds and millimeters decide victory. She rose through European competitions, consistently representing Lithuania on the world stage. Her skating is characterized not by flamboyance but by intelligent race strategy and a fierce competitive spirit in the pack. While Olympic medals eluded her, her presence in World Cup and Championship events helped maintain Lithuania's visibility in a discipline dominated by powerhouses like South Korea and the Netherlands. Sereikaitė's story is one of resilience, embodying the athlete who competes for the love of the sport and the flag, pushing limits on the sport's global periphery.

1981–1996
The first digital natives. Grew up with the internet, came of age during 9/11 and the 2008 crash. Highly educated, deeply indebted, slower to marry and buy houses. Redefined work, identity, and what it means to be an adult.
Agnė was born in 1994, placing them squarely in the Millennials. The events that shaped this generation — the internet revolution, 9/11, and the 2008 financial crisis — shaped the world they entered and the choices available to them.
