Biography
She initially practised other sports, including gymnastics. She came across artistic swimming almost by chance and became so excited by it that she dedicated herself to the sport. Polite and respectful, in competitions she trains like crazy and tries to eat healthily. She loves travelling and discovering the world and her idol since childhood has been American basketball legend Michael Jordan. In 2023, she made a name for herself on the national team, with which she won three medals at the European Games in Krakow and one at the World Championships in Fukuoka, and from where she also found time to obtain a degree in Sports Science through studying remotely. Before stepping onto the piste she has her own ritual: a long breath and a glance towards the sky. She always sets herself no limits and in Paris 2024 dreams of being one of the brightest stars in the Olympic firmament.
