Additional information
REPRESENTING ARGENTINA
She was born in Oviedo, Spain, to an Argentinian mother and Spanish father, and holds citizenship of both countries. Her godmother encouraged her to represent Argentina. "My godmother is a rhythmic gymnastics coach and suggested I do a tryout with the Argentinian national team, and I finished in first place." She chose to remain living in Spain due to the greater opportunities available to compete. "There are many more resources in Europe than in Latin America in this discipline. There are more media outlets, more tournaments and that is why I compete here. I go to as many tournaments as possible to measure the competition that exists at international level."
