Start:

She took up the sport at age six in Qusar, Azerbaijan. (Athlete, 28 May 2021)

Reason:

"I really liked martial arts. I even watched the movies. Due to circulatory problems, my legs did not always do what I wanted them to do. Therefore, on the recommendation of a doctor, I had to take up a sport where legs are actively used. I was going to play football, but there was no women's football school in Qusar. In 2001 or 2002, taekwondo just appeared in Qusar. Also, that school was close to my father's work and my home, so I chose taekwondo." (ru.oxu.az, 14 Jul 2018)
