Sport Specific Information |
Why this sport? |
Between age two and age eight she was involved in rhythmic gymnastics. However, there were few prospects to pursue the sport where she grew up so she decided to switch to artistic swimming because there was a strong sports school in the city. "This sport helps to not only have high sporting achievements but also to reveal yourself as a girl, as artistic swimming is a feminine and emotional sport." |
