Reason for taking up the sport
"My parents wanted to enrol me in swimming. There was a small sports ground near our home. When I saw the older guys there and how they did somersaults with a running start, I immediately wanted to try. This is how I learned my first somersault. When my mother saw that, she grabbed her heart and realised that I was definitely not a swimmer." (Instagram profile, 22 Jul 2021)
