I have won medals in horse riding, I have reached advanced level in skiing. I trained at Fitrepublik in Dubai Sports City and with my coach is Sabina Cojocar, who is a former world champion,’’ she added.Īriana likes to play all sports, watch movies and also plays musical instruments to relax. At least four to five hours of workout and classes (coaching) for five days of the week. Initially, I was a little nervous because it was my first international competition for all apparatus,’’ recalled Ariana. Not an easy journey but I was comfortable with the support of everyone. To reach Dubai, we had to quarantine for 15 days in Serbia. “It was hard to travel during Covid but we made it. But she is determined to go through the grind, thanks to her parents’ support. Travelling and training during the pandemic is very difficult, especially for a girl of her age. TNGA will be conducting competitions to identify and highlight this kind of talent and give them training to win at the highest level,” said Sharon Suares, treasurer of TNGA.

“With 200 plus competitors from six countries, it is a very creditable achievement for a gymnast who started her training in Chennai.
But the bronze is special as it gave me the confidence that I can compete at the international stage,’’ said the Class 4 student of KC High school.Īriana’s school has been supporting her and even the Tamil Nadu Gymnastics Association is keen to encourage more and more players to participate abroad and gain exposure at a young age. I was expecting silver in floor and beam too. Once I got to Dubai and started competing, I felt that I had a good chance to bag some medals. “I took part in floor, beam, bar and vault events. When one travels abroad for an international meet, they generally try to take part in many events for valuable exposure. I thought I would take part and benefit from the experience but I am glad that I won a bronze.’’ There were 40 children in my category and the competition was tough. “My expectations were low as there were about 202 students from six different countries. Ariana’s bronze medal came for the floor performance at the 11th Aspire Gymnastics invitational competition in Dubai.
