She took up the sport at age two. "My mother had to sign a special permit so I could practise gymnastics at age two when the minimum age was three."

She followed her parents into sports. Her father was a diver and her mother was involved in trampolining. "I was always climbing on everything because I wanted to be like them."

She trains for eight hours a day, split into two four-hour sessions, at the High Performance Sports Centre [CENARD] in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

PSYCHOLOGY
She has worked with a psychologist since a young age to help her overcome nerves. "Sometimes I feel fear when I am on the balance beam. That's the apparatus where I feel most afraid. The uneven bars is my favourite apparatus but I got hurt on them and it was also difficult to overcome my fear after that. I have to work on my fears, and my psychologist is key in that. I began doing psychological work at age nine. I was about to go to my first international competition and my coach advised me to go to the psychologist to handle my nervousness. I've been working with him ever since. I'm working on enjoying myself, because if you enjoy it the results come all by themselves." (lanacion.com.ar, 08 Feb 2023)
