Start:

She took up athletics at age nine in Vilnius, Lithuania. (Athlete, 02 Nov 2020; sportas.vilnius.lt, 27 Jan 2020)

Reason:

She was involved in gymnastics between age four and age nine. Her parents then enrolled her in athletics. "Until age nine, gymnastics was my main focus. But it was obvious that I would be tall with long legs, so I didn't really believe in gymnastics. Also, my parents didn't like the lack of a clear rating in this sport. And with jumps, everything is clearer - how far you jump is how well you do. My parents then took me to athletics, where you can try a lot of sports and choose what you like best."

Her parents. (zmones.lt, 23 Aug 2020)

TRAINING IN SPAIN
In 2017 she began training in Valencia, Spain. "In Spain, we have the opportunity to train outdoors all year round, because even in January the temperature sometimes reaches 16 degrees [Celsius]. The place where I live is right next to the training base, so everything for me - coaches, medical staff, gyms - is within 100 metres. This is very convenient."
