Sport Specific Information
When and where did you begin this sport? She began fencing in 2005.
Why this sport? "My mother was a flight attendant and we had to have a babysitter after school. I was already swimming but it was not enough. A friend of mine did fencing and it seemed attractive. I tried one session and I really liked it right away. And I chose sabre because it demands being more explosive, so it fits with my personality."
