00:00I don't think it's just important to talk about what fair play is when it comes to sport or when

00:09it comes to life. I think it is just as important the way that you actually compete or the way that

00:17you live your life as much as the accomplishments that come and that arrive. You know the test I

00:24think of a true champion is someone that comes along that's inspired by those that can be for

00:31them and continue to inspire other people into the future.

00:54I remember undoubtedly with so much emotion that I will try to transmit these values to my

00:59son.

01:00It's a great honor. The prize represents the things I believe in life and then to return to

01:07Firenze where we won the Cup a couple of years ago is always an honor.

01:12I would travel with my coach all the time, right? And he is the one who would help me to tell

01:17me how far or close I was to the bar to give me some corrections. And it was huge help and

01:23some of the girls didn't really have a coach, you know, and I would always and my coach

01:30would always offer himself to help other girls, even though they were jumping against me. I

01:36had nothing to do it, nothing against that. And because I always say I wish that everybody

01:42jumps their best and that then that that's the real competition. So I would consider that

01:48more for my coach than for me a fair play. But the fact that, yeah, I didn't mind. I really

01:54because I was a young girl without a coach once and I know what it means to be alone. There's

01:59how much support from the stands means. So yeah, we would always do things like that and help each

02:07other so on the field.
