MY PERFORMANCE

THE GREATEST COMEBACK IN MY LIFE.

After breaking my left ankle (during a training session on the rings, just a few hours after my grandma passed away) in the summer of 2009, and undergoing an urgent surgical intervention (which involved the insertion of 2 pins to fix the bones in place), I made a recovery, and I was ready for my greatest comeback. Twelve month after the incident, I competed on the Rings, once again representing my University team (A-Gym NSA G.C.), and I qualified for the National Men's Rings Final. This was my fourth time competing at the National Gymnastics Championships in my sports career. I was ranked 5th in the National Final, which is my greatest achievment so far.
