Natalia García

Carolina Rodríguez ha ganado la medalla de oro en los Juegos Mediterráneos, celebrados en Mersin (Turquía). Después de sufrir cirugía en su tobillo tras las olimpiadas, Carolina se ha recuperado de forma asombrosa. En una de las entrevistas realizadas tras las finales, la leonesa afirma encontrarse en uno de los mejores momentos físicos de su carrera.

La plata fue para la griega Varvara Filiou, una de las favoritas pese a finalizar sexta en la primera jornada de ayer. Kseniya Moustafayeva, de Francia obtuvo el bronce.

Por otra parte, la otra representante española, Natalia García, obtuvo finalmente una sexta posición en la final, con unos ejercicios expresivos y muy regulares.

Enhorabuena.

Today’s Artemi’s birthday. Artemi Gavezou Castro competed as individual gymnast for Greece. Last year, she decided to move to Spain to complete her studies. Since her mother is spanish, Artemi speaks fluently spanish language.

Once she moved to Madrid, she aimed to continue her career as gymnast. She joined a rhythmic gymnastics club over there, where her coaches could realize her amazing skills.

Some coaches from that club in Madrid, decided to talk with Spanish National team coaches: Sara Bayón and Anna Baranova. After some tests, Artemi was included in the National team as Senior Group Gymnasts.

Firstly, Artemi was living far from C.A.R. (the place where National team is training). She shared a flat. Since last month, she is living in a residence close C.A.R. and University, where sportspeople is living.

Wish you success!

Artemi is the first one from the left.

Hoy es el cumpleaños de la gimnasta Artemi Gavezou Castro. Artemi, compitió por Grecia como gimnasta individual. Sin embargo, el año pasado, Artemi decidió mudarse a España para completar sus estudios. Ella domina perfectamente el español, ya que su madre es española.

Una vez que llega a Madrid, pretende continuar su carrera como gimnasta, inscribiéndose en un club local. Allí sus entrenadoras ven sus increíbles condiciones y deciden hablar con la entrenadora y seleccionadora nacional (Sara Bayón y Anna Baranova). Tras comprobar las aptitudes de esta gimnasta, deciden incluirla dentro del equipo nacional de gimnasia rítmica, como gimnasta de conjunto.

No ha sido fácil para ella, puesto que en los inicios, Artemi vivió en un piso en Madrid alejado del C.A.R., donde ni siquiera estaba concentrada con sus compañeras. Desde el mes pasado, Artemi ya convive en la residencia donde se encuentra el resto de sus compañeras.

¡Felicidades y éxito!
