TRAINING INFORMATION
|
Age began gymnastics and reason for starting: |
6 years of age - ever since I was little I had always loved to dance and move around, so my mum put me into my first ballet class at the age of 3. I loved ballet and continued for another 3 years. I decided that I then wanted to try another sport, so I tried artistic gymnastics. Just after a few weeks I realised I was petrified of the beam and that was to end of my short lived artistic career. Then one day I saw a add in the newspaper about a sport called rhythmic gymnastics and I was immediately fascinated and signed up at my local club. |
