Additional information
OTHER ACTIVITIES
In March 2019 she participated in a live show called 'Superstars of Gymnastics' at the O2 Arena in London, England. "I had no idea what this event was all about, but all of the sudden I saw who was going to be there and I thought 'Wow, what's is this?' One day I got a call and they asked me to participate with other Latin Americans. I couldn't believe it. The general concept is a gymnastics show and it's great because it helps you let loose, to not be so structured, to be more relaxed and to have fun." (msn.com, 11 Mar 2019)
