I am 14 years old, but I was in the 15-17 year old category because I will be 15 years old in September. The third day, during the duels, I knew that I was going to the gold medal or money, but I did not expect to go to the point. Before going there, I saw that we were eight in my category. So I was perhaps aimed at the fifth or fourth place. I’m happy. It is certain that I will continue, ”she underlines.
