My parents both did track and field, but they were also bodybuilders for a long time. So I’ve always been around weight rooms and weights.

I started track and field in 2007 after eight years of gymnastics. I did the 100m, 200m, 4x1, shot, long jump and high jump. I stopped long jumping two years ago. Now I focus more on my throwing events.
