“It’s impossible to let go, once you taste this adventure, when you come to these countries and compete and have these feelings and podium and everything. You just want it to continue.”

“For me the most important is that you stay fit. I didn’t do any sport after giving birth for 8 years. Staying active improves the quality of life.”

“Sport is so important, because it keeps you sharp. I don’t just mean physically but mentally as well. Everybody gets stressed by different things in their life and just being able to get out there and exercise, getting rid of a little bit of that tension can help you mentally as well physically.”
