Sport Specific Information
When and where did you begin this sport? She began vaulting in 2003.
Why this sport? "I discovered vaulting by chance. When I was eight years old I saw it in a magazine and was immediately fascinated. I was already doing gymnastics and loved horses too, so vaulting seemed to be the ideal combination of both. I gave it a try and after my first training it was clear, this was a sport I wanted to do."
