"Her excellence and competitiveness paid off when, at the age of twelve, she won the World Championship in tumbling."

"However, she soon found herself battling against strongly held stereotypes of what a women’s figure skater was supposed to be."
Question 2

"Although her feat did not win her a medal, it was a move that, given its risk and difficulty, made people remember her."
