Reason for taking up the sport
"When I was four, I was taken to a rhythmic gymnastics gym. I was too young and what I remember was that I was afraid to get involved in training. Actually I began training when I was five. My first memory is a gym full of unknown children. Although I was afraid to get involved in the activities, I was impressed by their skills and at home I tried to repeat what I saw during the day."
