Reason for taking up the sport
Her parents enrolled her in a gymnastics class. "As a child I couldn't sit still for one second. I was doing the splits and vertical handstands so my parents decided to get me involved. The second I saw the ribbon in rhythmic gymnastics it was love at first sight. Gymnastics plays a big part in my family life. It's all we ever talk about."
