Knee surgery meant she could not compete at the 2013 World Championships in Moscow, Russian Federation. (rfea.es, 10 Mar 2021)

Start:

She took up the sport at age eight at Club Atletismo Gava in Spain. (rfea.es, 10 Mar 2021; elperiodico.com, 24 Jul 2018)

Reason:

"As a child I was a bit rough and that is why I liked to practise taekwondo. But then the weekend would come and, while I almost always stayed home, my older brother was always in athletics competitions. So, after two years of kicking, I switched sports and a new world opened up. I tried several disciplines, but throwing is where I was more comfortable and there I stood. I was obviously not made for cross-country." (rfea.es, 10 Mar 2021)

Memorable:

Throwing over 69m in October 2020 in Montijo, Spain. "Because it means a breaking point in my career. A change in my attitude." (carrerlliure.cat, 27 Oct 2020)

DEDICATION
Her long-time coach Llorenc Cassi passed away in March 2020. "The [COVID-19] lockdown was hard, but his death was a much harder blow. It was very complicated. It is something that, to this day, I really have not overcome yet. I think Llorenc will always be there. Everything I do is thanks to him. I will never be able to thank him for all he has done for me. He is the one who taught me how to throw." (rfea.es, 10 Mar 2021; carrerlliure.cat, 27 Oct 2020)

OCCUPATION
She works as an athletics coach at Club Atletismo Gava in Spain, where she started as an athlete herself. "I train myself in the mornings, and in the afternoons I train the children of the club." (Instagram profile, 21 Jul 2021; Carrer Lliure YouTube channel, 16 Jul 2021)
