Sport Specific Information |
Why this sport? |
"When I was choosing between synchronised swimming and ballroom dancing, I was more inclined to the latter as in swimming I always got told off. I still remember that decisive day. We came to a swimming pool with my mother and she asked me what I would like to choose. I answered that I would do dancing. But for some reason that evening, my synchronised swimming coach praised me for the first time in life. I was very surprised and decided to stay." |
