Sport Specific Information

When and where did you begin this sport? She took up the sport in 2007.

Why this sport? She originally practised artistic gymnastics before taking up fencing. "I was a gymnast, but I was very bad because when I was little I was tall and fat, so I couldn't get on the bar and things like that. My mother used to go to the gym which was next to the gymnastics hall. When my sister and I finished our gymnastics session we waited for her and in the meantime I used to watch fencing. That's how I began liking it and decided to quit gymnastics."
