Sport Specific Information

When and where did you begin this sport? She began fencing at age six and took up the sport seriously in 2007.

Why this sport? "My father was also a sabre fencer. One day I saw his trophies and as a challenge I told him, 'I will win more than you'. I was doing artistic gymnastics at the time and I wanted to change sports, but mother did not want me to. I was too young but then I tried again and at age six I took it up. From the beginning I always enjoyed fencing."

Sporting philosophy / motto "Fencing is like a school of life. From childhood, it teaches you respect, it teaches you the rules. The first thing you do in fencing is greet the coach, and especially when you finish a bout, whether you win or lose, you still acknowledge your opponent. This is a very important lesson to learn." (A3 News Venezia YouTube channel, 16 Jun 2021)
