DAUGHTER REIGNITES PASSION

"Before I got pregnant I didn't want to do skate any more because it wasn't fun. But everything changed when I became a mother (in May 2023). Everything became fun again. I realised it's important to me to have things outside sport to focus on and I found my passion for the sport again. It became fun again." (Athlete, December 2025)
