SISTER ACT
She says she does not see her twin sister Asia as a genuine opponent, and that the pair provide support to each other even when competing against one another. "Asia was one of my opponents at the [2021] world championships in the all-around final. We weren't able to share closely with each other because we started with different apparatus, but I still cheered for her from afar and vice versa. Asia and I on the competition floor do not feel against each other because she does not represent a real opponent for me. We are united and we give each other strength as if at that moment she was my teammate." (intlgymnast.com, 05 Nov 2021)
