| Why this sport? |
Her grandfather encouraged her parents to sign her up for fencing classes. "My dad and my grandfather were tired of 'stick-fighting' with me. I was a fan of Star Wars. This is why I went to the first training session, and to be honest I had never heard about fencing before and didn't know what exactly it was." |
