Reason: "My start in this sport was a coincidence, I was literally walking in the street at age eight, when a coach saw me and asked me to join his team.

Powerlifting introduced me to a different side of myself and different communities, which helped me a lot." (ON Facebook page, 17 Sep 2020; Athlete, 12 Jul 2019; Ten TV YouTube channel, 18 Feb 2019)
