I started gymnastics when I was 5 and it has been in my life ever since. When I started my family and I lived in Europe, and I was training at the Olympic School for gymnastics which was mostly government funded allowing me to train and compete more easily and often.

However, when we moved to Australia many things changed. Rhythmic gymnastics is a pretty unpopular sport here, therefore it receives zero government support. This means that training and competition is completely self funded and very expensive.

I’ve been doing rhythmic gymnastics for almost 10 years now and my passion is stronger than ever. I have participated in the Australian National Gymnastics Championship every year ever since I moved here and brought home medals each year. So I’m reaching out and asking for your support with the upcoming international competitions.

Thank you for your support,

Polina
