Additional information
General
ASPIRATION
She has studied audiovisual communication at university. "Outside of sports, my dream is to be a film director. I love it. The truth is that I give a lot of importance to aesthetics. For example, every time I watch television or movies I always analyse everything to the smallest detail." (olympics.com, 09 Jun 2021)
MOVE TO SPAIN
She was born in Moscow, Russian Federation, but at age three she moved to Alicante, Spain. For a period she and her family went back to the Russian Federation for financial reasons, but she continued to practise the sport there before returning to Spain to start her university studies at age 18. Her style in competition has been influenced by training in rhythmic gymnastics in both countries. "The two methods are demanding, but there is a difference."
