Ranchi, Jan 13 (PTI) Hailing from a family of doctors, a career in medicine is natural for German women’s hockey team defender Selin Oruz and she did take up the profession, though she has taken a break from it in pursuit of representing her nation for the second time in Olympics.

Oruz, who was a part of Germany’s bronze medial-winning side in the 2016 Rio Olympics, is pursuing her medical career in pediatrics but for the time being has taken a break to fulfil her sporting dreams.

Oruz’s mother too is a pediatrician while her father is an ENT (ear, nose and throat) specialist. Her brother Timur Oruz is also a member of the German men’s hockey team.

“Now I am practising medicine. It’s much easier because I am not working on a clinic, so I can work on the weekend. Until the Olympics, I am going to focus on hockey but in the end I want to come out of hockey and work full-time as a doctor,” Oruz told
