Reason for taking up the sport
"My mum took me to my first gymnastics class. She just wanted me in something, so I wasn't charging around the house or being idle. Someone suggested gymnastics. When I was training, at the age of six or seven, I noticed my current coaches so I went up and said 'I want to train with you, can you take me?' And they said 'Yes of course we'll take you.' I guess they saw something in me too." (thecouchgymnast.com, 02 Jun 2011)
