General
GYMNASTICS FAMILY
Multiple members of his family have competed in artistic gymnastics at international level, and he says he is motivated by their achievements. "I think a lot of enthusiasm for risks comes from him [his father], since everyone knows who he is around the world. They will also know that I am the son of Rumbutis. But I also want to change that. I want to be more than just the son of Rumbutis. In today's terms I want to be 'The Rumbutis'. I think it's really cool and awesome having two cousins working really hard to achieve their goals. Both Oskar and Robert are big influences on me and I look up to them a lot." (intlgymnast.com, 26 May 2021)
