Hi Giulia, thank you for dedicating your time to us today: how and when did you start practicing artistic gymnastics?
Hello everyone, thank you! Before doing gymnastics I did two years of dance. I started practicing artistic gymnastics when I was 5 years old, but it was not love at first sight because I wanted there to be music in the gym at all costs and during my first day of rehearsal there was none. For a period I didn't attend anymore, but then I decided to try again and, slowly, I went further and further.
What do you like most about this sport?
I like a little bit of everything about my sport, it makes me feel free. My favorite tools are the beam and the parallel bars. Gymnastics makes you feel certain emotions that few can understand and it is one of the things I like the most.
What was the most beautiful or significant moment you have experienced on the platform so far?
One of the best moments I experienced on the platform was during the European Championships in Rimini, I was still a junior and it was my first European. I will never forget the floor final in which I won gold, I felt incredible emotions. It was also beautiful when I won at the Cagliari Absolutes, even there I felt many emotions that are difficult to forget.
Do you have a gymnast that you consider your point of reference or a source of inspiration?
A gymnast I really like right now is Rebeca Andrade.
What are the most difficult challenges for a young athlete like you in artistic gymnastics?
The most difficult challenges are many and can concern both the physical part, due to injuries, and the mental part; But it is essential to know how to get up to get back on the platform even after the hardest moments.
When and how did you discover Taopatch®?
I discovered Taopatch last year, I had seen that the Fairies in Brescia used them. I tried them for the first time last summer.
How does Taopatch® help you in training and during competitions?
I use Taopatch® all the time, in training, in competitions and even outside the gym. They help me improve my posture and decrease various pains.
Have you also noticed changes in recovery or feeling fitter in everyday life?
Yes, they help me recover faster than before. At the end of training I feel my legs a little tired and, when I get home, I apply the Taopatch® in the most tired areas; The next morning I feel much better.
In your opinion, what is the secret to improving and at the same time continuing to have fun in this sport?
I find that training with a smile and in tranquility is more effective than when you are angry and the improvement comes by itself, always committing and working to the maximum.
What advice would you give to girls and boys who want to start doing artistic gymnastics?
I would like to tell boys and girls that gymnastics is learned step by step, what matters is consistency. It may seem difficult at first but every little improvement makes a difference and keeps us going and then it is a sport that teaches a lot.
Would you recommend Taopatch® to other young athletes like you?
Of course, I would recommend Taopatch® to other young people. I've been using them for a while now and I'm feeling really good and they help me improve in many aspects. For this, I would like to thank Dr. Fontana and the staff for the support and attention they are giving me. I'm very happy to have started this journey with Taopatch®!
Thank you, Giulia! We are confident that you will continue to shine and win many more titles and medals.
