TOUGH TIMES
She was homesick for about one year after moving from her hometown to the Rhythmic Gymnastics National Team Centre in Fellbach, Germany. "The first year was really bad. I cried almost every day. It certainly took a year until it improved. I still feel homesick, but now it has settled down." (sportstiftung-saar.de, 21 Dec 2018)
