Sport Specific Information

When and where did you begin this sport? She began fencing at age six.

Why this sport? "I was six years old and in my last year of kindergarten. There was a girl, one or two years older than me, fencing in the yard. She called me over and said, 'It's cool and you can play too'. The beginning of that training also saved me from the kindergarten nap. I went straight to training from kindergarten and after that we walked home together. To be honest, at first I didn't know what I was doing. It only became clear later. I didn't understand why we had to chase each other with some kind of weapon, why we had to stab each other. Others hurt me, so I had to hurt them. The concept did not suit me at all. I also went and tried other sports - basketball, athletics, gymnastics. I went through almost every sport offered in Haapsalu [her hometown]. Only then did I realise that fencing was the most interesting sport."

Other information GYMNASTICS
She spent eight years training in gymnastics as a youngster. "I was very mobile as a child. I liked to run, jump, climb, and tumble. I liked gymnastics. And I have thought in retrospect that gymnastics will be of immense benefit to any sports enthusiast. It develops coordination, flexibility, and everything else. Gymnastics has benefited my fencing in the sense that I was able to learn every new move more easily. I remember being the one who never had any problems with coordination exercises. But I probably wouldn't be good at gymnastics now because I grew too tall." (laanesport.ee, 01 Mar 2020)
