I have never said it out loud: unfortunately, it's over with fencing, I can't do it anymore physically but I have tried to get involved with other sports - she explained - And now we have, and I say 'we have' with the team because I can only do it thanks to a group of people who are supporting me at this moment. So, we have started with athletics. I think I will do the 100.»
