The 14-year-old gymnastics star in seventh heaven for her friend and mom-coach Spela

history

At dawn on Friday (3:20 am Italian time) there will be a special fan to follow the all-around qualification to the Olympic final in rhythmic gymnastics, which will see our Alexandra Agiurgiuculese on the platform. Tara Dragas, 14 years old in February, gymnast of Asu Udine, will be doubly excited because her great friend and almost sister Alex will be involved, but also mother Spela, the Slovenian coach who crossed the fate of the gymnast who arrived in Italy from Romania and that has been with it for over a decade. From Sardinia, where she is on vacation, Tara has already organized:

«I will watch the competition with my friends – she says – and with a group of gymnasts from a Sardinian club that I met here. I’m excited because I’ve known Alex since I was four, that is, since she moved to our house and became an older sister for me, we often go out together even outside the gym and she is an excellent captain in the Serie A championship ” . Tara, who is already part of the junior national group and was, in 2019, Italian champion, will obviously also cheer for coach Spela, for the first time in the role of coach, and not judge, at an Olympics. «The mother – he says – is the person who ever spent the most time with Alexandra and who can probably understand her the most. She too has experienced the same difficulties as Alex in this complicated season between Covid and everything else, and was worried that Alexandra would not be able to achieve this goal. But she has also always been very confident ». Alex, Spela and Tara have kept in touch in the last few hours and the first impressions from Japan have been positive. “They are both very very happy – he says – both for the characteristics of the facility in which they started training and for the accommodation at the Olympic village, where they told me they have already met several sports stars, including the Slovenian basketball player in force to the Dallas Mavericks Luka Doncic ».

The atmosphere of the Olympic village gave the Air Force airman a further motivational boost. «Alexandra is always in control of what she does – Tara specifies – and I’m sure she will be the protagonist of a great race. Of course it’s also unpredictable so I think a lot depends on what she wants. I felt very determined and aware of the importance of the event she is participating in. He will have to commit himself to the end and not give up ». Young Tara will watch these Games from Sardinia, but her sights are already turned to Paris 2024: «It would be my dream and I’m working hard on it. I’m always trying to stay in shape, to improve every little flaw and perfect every little detail. My gaze is already directed there ». –
