Sport Specific Information |
| When and where did you begin this sport? |
She began fencing at age 10. |
| Why this sport? |
"I wanted to start horse riding but it was expensive. I ended up trying fencing instead, even though I didn't know anything about it. At first I simply enjoyed the atmosphere at the club, but now I like fencing because it's such a complex sport. You have to be very quick, have a clear head and stay focused at all times." |
